BiggerPockets users know this but the masses don't, and a decade ago the public was literally screaming at politicians to impose a "windfall profits tax" on oil companies because gasoline increased so much and so dramatically.

Intangible rights to the asset may be another story...https://www.sec.gov/about/laws/sa33.pdf(1) The term ‘‘security’’ means any note, stock, treasury stock, security future, security-based swap, bond, debenture, evidence of indebtedness, certificate of interest or participation in any profit-sharing agreement, collateral-trust certificate, preorganization certificate or subscription, transferable share, investment contract, voting-trust certificate, certificate of deposit for a security, fractional undivided interest in oil, gas, or other mineral rights, any put, call, straddle, option, or privilege on any security, certificate of deposit, or group or index of securities (including any interest therein or based on the value thereof), or any put, call, straddle, option, or privilege entered into on a national securities exchange relating to foreign currency, or, in general, any interest or instrument commonly known as a ‘‘security’’, or any certificate of interest or participation in, temporary or interim certificate for, receipt for, guarantee of, or warrant or right to subscribe to or purchase, any of the foregoing.

I have posted a great deal on this as my investors are most oil execs.

The units are on separate utilities, each with its own fuel oil furnace.

About 15 to 20 years ago me and 4 other people decided we wanted to buy an old oil refinery.

@JoJo Tucker Take a look at the Greater Houston Partnership's website: https://www.houston.org/Some really great info on the economy. i like them because when something is wrong [oil and gas layoffs] they don't ignore it or run from it.

In the letter, the lawyer indicated that she did not do any damages to the unit, that she left the oil tank with more oil in it than had been in it to start and that we should make the tenant a reasonable accommodation by not charging her for the back rent or the re-leasing fee.

The price of oil drives the entire economy.
