Advice Needed - Tenant Unemployed Due To COVID
Hi all, just got a message from a tenant in a house that I own, saying that his roommate had moved out on Jan 1st and that he was recently unemployed due to COVID shutdowns. Said that he was applying for unemployment but hadn't received any money from it yet. Didn't give me any specifics but sounds like he might have trouble paying rent until things open up again. Any advice on what to do here? I even cut back his rent by a few hundred bucks during the pandemic for a few months just because I knew business was slow. I don't want to evict him, but I also want to make sure that I get something coming in from rent somehow.
