Rent delays from tenant with sickness

Kamal Tripathi

Posted

I have a tenant in The house for 2 months.

She just told me that she is suffering from cancer.

She is the only bread earner in the house. I can see potential trouble.

I want to be nice. I am a good soul but also want to run a business.

What are my options to safeguard myself for any potential tenant or rental issues.

    @Kamal Tripathi She has only been there for two months ? Are you sure she has cancer or is she just using that as an excuse ? You could offer to put her on auto draft and if she doesn’t pay evict.. Being a landlord is a tough business sometimes you gotta become heartless if you want to keep your cash flow. Did she notify you she had cancer before she moved in ? My mother died from cancer so don’t think I don’t care about people but in the end you need your money
