Tenant shot & in the hospital

[Greg Grisez]

How do you handle this one?  Served a 3 day notice this past Monday.  Got a call from the tenants mother on Tuesday morning - she said her son (my tenant) was shot nine times this past Saturday & is in intensive care, surgeries, etc.  She informed me that she & her sisters plan to take care of the rent so he still has the home when he gets out of the hospital.  I texted her the rent amount on Tuesday afternoon (per her request) & the various ways to pay it - she said she would "get with me on the payment".  I plan to kindly follow up with collecting.

Trust but verify - I looked it up & there was a news story about it

Anyone know of any resources out the there to help him in the short term with rent?  Any legal issues I should be aware of in this situation?  Uncomfortable even thinking/asking this but how do I handle the turnover if he passes away?

Thanks!
