Tenant won’t leave because of “covid”

[Brian Koons]

Hey guys,

Im not asking for legal advice by any means, but my tenant in another unit of my current house hack agreed to leave on October 30th and break the lease with no Repercussions because his roommate (who recently moved out, thought he was doing heroin). Additionally, there are several lease violations that we have not went forward with since he agreed to leave. However, he now told my PM that he cannot pay rent “due to covid 19”. Do you guys have any recommendations on how to go about this? Anything helps. Good luck out there!

Cash for keys might be easiest. If you have other reasons for eviction those can go through in many places.
