Low end 1 bedroom apartment, moratorium on eviction = suddenly no rent paid. Here in Australia there was significant $ from Government for those in such a position, including rental assistance. We got nothing. And I am not about to hound a person financially at the bottom who likely lost their job and had enough shit already.
But no point messing around with the lowest end market now that we can afford not to. Sell it.
To clarify, the problem you're talking about is that it's risky to be a landlord, and maybe more so now than a few years ago.

At least some landlords also have the option of pulling the lever labeled "sell the unit".
