Landlord collecting rent

[Brad Holtzman]

Want to know what strategies, incentives, & ideas landlords are doing to get their tenants to pay rent during this no eviction time. I’m hearing things like a rent break of $25-$50 off during the first 5 days it’s due etc... Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks

Gimmicks aren't going to be the ticket here, they either have the money to pay rent or they don't, it isn't going to be a matter of choice for most people and $25-$50 is not going to be a strong incentive anyway.  Be understanding and helpful and you'll get farther.  $25 discounts are worse than nothing at all because they incite ridicule and give the impression you are an out of touch landlord that doesn't need the money, instead of a mom and pop operation who needs the rent for their own bills.
