\u201cThere are bears in the national parks who have weaned themselves off of real food in favor of garbage-can fare. They had a bad year,\u00a0too…\u201d<\/p><\/div>The CDC’s completely unconstitutional eviction moratorium ends tonight. I am innocent of any first-hand experience with this mess. We didn’t miss a payment on the rental homes we managed, and we sold three tenant-occupied homes \u2013 allegedly the third-rail \u2013 for top dollar, with no trouble.<\/p>\n

Linked below, the Foundation for Economic Education is making the propertied argument, and it’s one I agree with in principle.<\/p>\n

But: Most landlords who get into trouble went looking for trouble.<\/p>\n

There is a median for everything, half above, half below. If you shop for tenants above the median on follow-through, you had an eviction moratorium experience like ours \u2013 no experience. If you shop below the median \u2013 thinking, perhaps, that people with few choices will stay longer, or, worse, planning to evict, thus to rack up another huge financial judgement \u2013 I’m guessing the last 18 months have been painful for you.<\/p>\n

Dang.<\/p>\n

Until some grown-up puts his foot down hard, you can expect more unconstitutional usurpations. But you can improve your results in a crooked game \u2013 by giving up crookery yourself. If you want people to treat you right, treat them right. If you want to make an honest living, stop being a bottom-feeder.<\/p>\n
