Op Ed: Don’t Forget-Landlords Are People Too
POA Executive Director Kelly Voicheck was recently featured on NJ.com with regard to the “People’s Bill.”
Much has been written about the plight of tenants during this COVID-19 pandemic, but what seems to get lost in this discussion is how badly small landlords are hurting right now.
