There is a moratorium on evictions, but rent has not been cancelled. It's why they are demanding it. They're squatting and their landlords are prepping to evict. Rent in the city has dropped dramatically, but most every landlord would rather get in a tenant willing and able to pay less over an existing tenant at a higher rate that hasn't paid in 6 months.
If rent was canceled then you couldn't be evicted when the moratorium lapses. That isn't the case. Rent has not been canceled. Just because you are unlikely to recover it from the non payers you're prepping to give the boot as soon as you can does not mean it has been canceled.
"when the moratorium lapses" - It's been a year and rent is still considered canceled. Through administrative decree, private contracts that contemplate rent have been rendered irrelevant. Landlords have been forced to sell their homes because they cannot evict tenants. You make it sound like not collecting rent payments for a year is no big deal and "as soon as you can" is going to go back to normal. You're dead wrong. Nobody is going to want to be a landlord after what the state has proven it can and will do.

Rent has effectively been cancelled. Only the most naive clown would honestly believe any tenant will back pay a dime in rent.
Are you retarded?
