I've reached out to my realtor and asked her to see how things are and her response was not encouraging.

and I would be labeled by society as the "bad guy" for trying to remove tenants during a quarantine, even though they are degrading my own quality of life since I have to live right above them and am forced to breath their smoke and listen to their screaming contests.So is my only option to simply continue to confront them about their lease violations, but not to actually cancel the lease until the state of emergency/disaster is over?

Karl thanks for the support and encouragement!

Thank you @Dan Burstain that is encouraging as I want to make good cash flow for my first house hack.

You should encourage the neighbor to call police anytime your tenant is on the property, to report them for trespassing.

The intent is to encourage homeowners to make improvements and to apply for permits to do so properly “without fear of being subjected to the school-impact fees” so long as the new accessible space does not exceed 500 square feet.

It felt if I sent a letter out it would encourage tenants not to pay.  

Thanks for the encouraging words @Dan Zitofsky.Looking forward to the zoom meeting!

Here are the criteria I used and the questions I asked in my survey:Any property manager needed to manage a minimum of 100 units to ensure a good sample sizeAny property owner needed to own a minimum of 20 units to ensure a good sample sizeOnly apartments were considered in this surveyI called on April 6th asking how many tenants have paid IN FULLOnly properties in New Hampshire were considered (I encourage people to do this in their own state!

And on a somewhat related note, as property owners and borrowers, if we have the means to make our mortgage payments and put food on the table, it's encouraged you do so.
