@Luis Cerwin as others have stated, Nov - Jan is the worst time of year to have a vacancy.Majority of tenants live paycheck-to-paycheck, so all their income goes to Holiday spending starting with Halloween, then Thanksgiving, then xmas, then NYE.January is also historically the worst month for rent payments due to Holiday Hangover Spending.

Existing deals will instead be saved by NOI growth driven by rent growth--if you have the staying power to hold on long enough.Supply:  High deliveries remain today mostly because of "hang over" from projects that are taking longer to complete than developers (and industry analysts) expected. 

Tenants, "go into Holiday-mode" and start spending disposable income (and racking up their credit cards) on Thanksgiving feasts & trips, Xmas presents & trips, and finally NYE plans.3) Income Tax Refund checks start being received towards the end of February and corresponding, the rental market starts picking up again as tenants payoff their “Holiday Hangovers".4) Spring Fever starts, sometime in April-May, causing both sales & rental markets to start picking up.

You can cut any branches that hang over your property.

The bad and cheap ones will leave you with a nasty hangover and swearing that you will never try tequila again. 

But we really are in the hangover phase from all those inflated cocktails (myself included, damn being 40 isn’t the same as 24 kids).

Now in our hang over we want to wag a finger and blame blame blame.

What we are now experiencing in the short term rental market in post COVID hangover.

As a last resort you can file a lawsuit which will hang over them  - that is your only point of leverage. 

But bottom line Is as you said all that hangover inventory Is basically gone.. so now its old and retiring people that want out of neighborhoods that have turned from owner occ to rental.. or its burnt out landlord syndrome that's where the inventory comes from.
