    Why couldn't they go 50/50 or in some ratio that tenants can afford and still help the landlord somewhat?

    The smallest landlords are being hurt the most during the pandemic and they're not being helped my the state or federal government. While I have only one rental property and have had some very good tenants, I've also seen that tenants that take advantage when they can. Landlords have to pay their mortgages and other fixed costs. Tenants need to pay their bills, too.
