Tenant is behind on rent. Says will pay in full when they receive

[Adam Azam]

One of my current tenant is behind on rent. They were injured on the job and have a pending worker's compensation claim. But they have not paid previous months in full and nothing for current month. I have doubts that this settlement will wrap up anytime soon. How should incidents like these be handled? Property is in KC, where evictions have been banned through end of they year from what I know. I am unsure how to proceed. Do I just wait or what other actions can I take?

Be aware that the only people that you can not evict are people that lost their job directly as a result of covid and can prove it. This person should be evicted ASAP for non-payment of rent. Let him borrow the money from relatives until the settlement but you need to get paid.
