Please don't lecture me on people dying. I've had one relative and two friends die due to complications from Covid (these three people died without family by their side, and I was not allowed to go to the funerals). So, yes in my world people are dying. I'm also taking loans to make ends meet to keep paying my own bills due to lost business thanks to Covid.
You and I don't have to agree. I'm allowed to have my perspective and you are allowed to not like it.
If the owner has a way-- I personally feel that renters should be refunded. I've stated it before, I've stated again, and I still feel this way. Nothing you can say will sway me any other way.
