Great tenant is struggling to make rent due to Gov shutdown

[Justin Brown]

We received a letter from our tenant (a great tenant so far) and they are concerned about making full rent in Feb as one of them has been furlowed by the govt shutdown. I appreciate their proactive letter and they have never been late. I am curious if others are seeing this and how others will handle it. I have always heard to Not accept partial payment and to be firm but in this case the job is stable and at some point the gov will resume. I don't want to lose the tenant but I want them to make paying rent a priority when his job resumes. Look forward to your feedback.
