So, it's fine to be in a position to not pay your rent, but it's no ok to be in a position to own a rental if the profits aren't high enough or if you don't have enough money to overcome government intervention? 

But from what I recall most of us (I could be wrong) did not expect such intervention. 

Rent control or other government interventions don't solve the problem of drug and alcohol addiction or mental illness.Are you familiar with the Pareto Principle?  

Historically, the biggest unknown has been government intervention – when and what they will do.

forebearances, historically low interest rates etc. was an intervention that likely created an artificially inflated housing market that otherwise may have been about to level off or correct.

Maybe connect with early intervention agencies too.

Fannie Mae and the National Association of Realtors predict housing prices will rise slightly this year7, while Zillow expects them to fall between 2-3%.8 Still, that would be a far cry from the double-digit declines that occurred during the last recession.9Government Intervention Will Help Stabilize the MarketPolicymakers have been quick to pass legislation aimed at preventing a surge in foreclosures like we saw in 2008.

PetrovAgree 💯 %You cannot automate a rental property and it’s needs - it needs human intervention, either the owner does it or pays someone to do it.

Supply/demand will continue to trump government intervention in these markets.Secondly to the point on debt, in an inflationary time, being out of a devaluing currency is far more important than remaining liquid in my opinion.

Is there some kind of legal document we can have them sign as a means of intervention that makes them acknowledge the issues they have caused to date and sets a clear path for how future occurrences will be dealt with?
