Legally regarding rent here you would be required to waive late fees and defer rent  under the COVID legislation so I would do that.  

A permanent ban would require legislative action.

i feel as though there won't be a piece of legislation that would ever replace solid landlords and local property management firms 

I'm in Maryland, so reserve studies aren't mandated, but legislation was proposed this spring to make it so.

This is one of the many areas that you will not be able to get water shutoff records due to the legislation.

The CA multifamily market is on the verge of softening with recent (and upcoming) rent control legislation coming into effect, leading many investors to sell / move their capital out of state.

I recently was in Albany with a bunch of landlords and some small business owners talking to state senators about legislation that recently has been passed in New York that is making it extremely difficult on landlords especially with rent stabilized housing.

@Marisa Alvarez99% chance this is a breach according to local legislation.

Hopefully the legislators will see that landlord restrictions have a direct impact on the supply of affordable housing...

I would be very careful about "legally" working around legislation.
