Why Tenants Will Not Pay

[Matt D.]

Have several tenants not paying. Not paying rent to the landlord is quite honestly not fair and unscrupulous in many situations. I have tenants that are borderline laughing at me because I cannot do anything and they know it. Many of them have jobs, are collecting unemployment, or some other sort of income. Why can’t they pay half the rent 25% of the rent 75%. I wish the government would make a move on this.. I’m just not sure there’s anything we can do. I believe in tenants rights and I believe in tough times but they should have to pay at least 50%. I’m in Las Vegas and if the law allows, I think I am going to start sending some direct emails.

Any ideas?

If I'm not mistaken you can still send notices to pay or quit you just can't evict until the moratorium is over, then you get in line for eviction court, harsh but you can't rent out your property for free.
