Tenant Recently Found Out They Have Cancer

[Jonathan Satizabal]

I have a tenant that recently found out they have cancer and cannot work for at least 6 months because they will be going through chemo. They missed two rent payments because they were waiting on their disability insurance to come in. They have been a tenant for less than a year but have not missed a payment and have otherwise been good tenants. I helped them apply for a rental assistance program and I will probably forgive one months rent to help them out. Her disability insurance did kick in and they did make a rent payment at that time. Just wondering what a good strategy for this would be or if anyone has gone through a similar situation.
