Live without paying rent in the house in Duncanville, TX area

[Kumar Prasanna]

Thanks in advance! 

I own a single-family property in Duncanville, TX for a couple of years now.  I'm relatively new to the real estate investment market and am curious about a situation.

I have been told recently that there might be a situation wherein the county or state can pass a law (could be temporary) saying tenants don't have to pay rent and still can live in the house in exceptional situations, may like the current COVED19 outbreak. How likely that something like this can happen. Have there been any such occurrences in the past? 

Any pointers or suggestions will really help! Thanks for your time.
