The article says
"Regardless, the courts have long held that tenants can stay away from their apartments for extended periods because of health reasons. In this case, fear of contracting a deadly virus would likely suffice."
Does anyone know the basis for this statement? The court rulings, etc.? I wonder if it might be wishful thinking or spin by a tenant lawyer, or the reporter not understanding the situation. If true, COVID would knock out pretty much ANY nonprimary residency claim this year. I hope it's true but has the smell of "too good to be true."
