Lease language for rental assistance

Hey all;

Is anyone out there adding language to their leases to compel tenants to seek rental assistance if they lose the ability to pay rent for a period. I'm looking for some language that would allow a lease to be terminated in the event a tenant stops paying, but also doesn't provide assistance or information to obtain rental assistance either. The goal here would be to force a situation where they either have to pay their rent, or PROVE they've lost there job by applying for assistance. Is that possible and does it exist?

Here's something I was thinking might work. It's compiled from some other postings I've found around.


Tenant(s) agree to provide information and cooperation in the completion of any requirements necessary to obtain rental assistance in the event they cannot pay rent. Failure to do so constitutes a breach of this agreement, and the landlord may terminate the lease at their own option. This will in no way restrict other remedies available to the landlord under law or this lease.
