I am a landlord. The problem with non paying tenants is usually drug related. The longer they remain the more horrific the damage. I had one where the power got cut off for non payment. That meant no water. They dedicated one bedroom as the toilet. I had to clean every bit of it myself as none of the people I usually use would even walk in the front door.
I have 1 Chicago transplant trying to game the Arizona gov’t for rental re-imbursement, claiming she has been sick with COVID for 4 months. I didn’t re-new her lease.
