“Some of the landlords I’ve spoken with are concerned $4,000 isnt enough to save the tenancy,” Souza said.
Some tenants are further behind in their rent and aren’t paying because they are protected by the eviction moratorium which ends February 9. Souza said some landlords would rather wait to evict their tenants than accept $4,000.
“Some are hesitating to do it because of the limit of $4,000,” Souza said.
Some landlords still have mortgages and they have to pay taxes and keep up with a maintenance schedule.
“We’ve taken a beating. A lot of these people have lost a lot of money,” Souza added.
