Advice on handling Tenant Matter during Covid

Jimmy Kong
Posted

Hi,

Hope all is well. I have a tenant with 3 kids in a unit who at the beginning of covid faced financial hardship when her husband was held in prison. He is still there as of right now. For the last 12-15 month I have only received half of the rent payments to help them out through this crisis. The current past due balance is almost 15k. The wife is currently working with charities/governement programs to help them with the rent but there is no update yet.

As of right now, the husband still has not been released from prison. 

I am not sure what to do. Do I continue to help them and put myself at risk or do I ask them to leave. It's funny because I'm trying to help them but yet I always have to call them for status updates. I don't want to continue this. 

If I ask them to leave, how do I go about this? How would I get back the currently owed amount? eviction or small claims court?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jimmy
