@Mark Miles while this might work, it is probably not the most socially responsible thing to do if your local government is trying to protect from the spread of disease.

@Liza RhimaI think that postponing evictions for tenants in the Phoenix metro area who are seriously affected by the Coronavirus is the right thing to do, but I think that measures should also be taken to help protect landlords as well (since they're the ones with the real investment to lose).
