So you evict all your tenants. Then what? With this economy, no one is going to replace them. Better to have them pay what they can and keep the residence active (lawns mowed and watered, etc. ) until the money starts to flow again.

Yep. And an empty building invites squatters and drug addicts and vandalism. It's better to cut the tenants a temporary break on the rent than evict them.

You ever had rentals? People that live in something for free have no skin in the game and will trash the place, so you are actually better off empty, no money either way!

In CA you will replace them in a moment.

You’re forgetting that human nature is all too often just to be a jerk about everything.

I agree. Landlords are not the smartest people on earth. I’m glad I never had to deal with one. Most only care about that money and could care less about keeping up with the property.
