Tenant Did Not Pay and Left - COVID

Lori Gilbert
Posted

We rented a unit to 2 girls.  They signed one lease.  From day one they each paid their half and acted like they were separate in paying rent. They technically broke the lease when they took on a pet in March, but due to COVID we could not do anything and they knew it.  One of the girls kept paying rent.  The other one stopped 4 months ago claiming she couldn't because of employment issues.  Never responded to emails or texts to produce a payment plan. They asked to break the lease early and we said fine because one of them wasn't paying.  They have vacated the property.  Since the renter did not want to set a payment plan with us I want to know if it's okay to send what's owed to a collection agency.  I know that during covid we could not report unpaid rent or report to a collection agency while renting but now that she's no longer a renter can we.  If not what are our options? The property is based in Washington DC.
