One interesting thing here, the Governor is only giving "guidance" not a legal order. My local bars are promising to stay open since its not legally binding :(
A lot of landlords aren’t going to give a damn unless they are forced to.
Let's say you own a property that is suited for retail business like bars or restaurants. The bar that currently occupies it can't pay rent for a month or two.
They have broken their end of the agreement, so now you have the power to evict them. But do you actually want to do it? If so, how soon are you going to be able to get a new tenant? The entire industry just took a huge hit, so how many restaurant or bar businesses have expansion on their minds? Not many.
You're probably better off just taking a loss and letting your current tenant keep doing business there.
