My wife and I live in Lacey, but have one single-family rental in West Olympia. Through the entire duration of the pandemic, our tenants have paid ALL utility bills and monthly rents on time. I guess if the city were to just survey them, then 100% of renters would be considered to have coped. This isn't meant to imply that many renters don't have difficulties meeting financial obligations, only that survey results can be given a spin to support whatever restrictions the City Council votes to place on landlords on their management of their properties, e.g., caps on move-in fees and the lengths of notices given to renters for increases in rent based on the amount of the increase. Olympia is turning into another Seattle.
