MONTANA SOCIAL DISTANCING IS A WAY OF LIFE

I am so grateful I live in Montana, though we have a few cases of COVID-19, we are fortunate enough to have the ability to get outside and breath the fresh air, take in the sunshine and wash all the stagnant air out of our homes and lungs.

Social Distancing at it's best in Montana.

My daughter invited me out to their place before they shut down the schools here in Montana. If she hadn't I know I would not have felt comfortable going outside and I would be scrubbing down every wall, surface, nook and cranny with a toothbrush and straight Lysol cleaner.

Our Management Company issued a rather strongly worded letter about their expectations of the tenants during this time. I can understand the concern for their maintenance people and the need for them to be able to pay those people and others who work for the company.

I would like to take the opportunity to let Landlords know that just because this virus started halfway around the world, some of the deplorable buildings that you continue to rent out with broken sewer lines, uncleaned units before moving new people in, painting over the muck left behind by former tenants all can lead to a virus here in America.

The need to follow proper codes, procedures, and maintenance on buildings is paramount to stopping the spread of many types of health issues. We have Building codes in place for a reason, to protect those who live, work, and play within them.

If we continue to look the other way on these issues just because there are limited units available for our nations low-income, working, elderly, vets, and families we are inviting another health crisis for our most vulnerable populations who have no choice but to continue working unless they find themselves in the hospital or the grave just to meet their rent obligations.
