problematic tenants not paying rent

[John P.]

Hi all.

I wanted to reach out to the community here to see if some sound advice can be given.

2 properties are holding problematic tenants. The tenants have not paid their rent since February and refuse to do so.

Given the pandemic occurring, they are protected by the state of NY for eviction.

Any suggestions on this situation? I'm sure other more experienced investors have experienced this at some point, Just wanted some insight on the solution.

Thank you.
