Coronavirus and Tenant
So, this is a new scenario to everyone and trying to be as emphatic to the situation. I have a tenant whos lease is up at the end of April 2020. We are wanting to put it on the market today. My PM went to the house to talk with the tenant and was not able to. Seems the tenant has changed his number also. I do not know what to do when the lease is up and he is still there and NOT paying rent. Given the whole covid-19 scenario, I do not know what my rights are as a landlord. I do want to try to work with this guy and maybe help him with the rent if need be, the problem is, he is cut off all lines of communication with us. I know I can forgo my mortgage which is great, but I may have a squatter in the house and not sure how to get him out or work with him. Def want to get this house re-rented after he leaves and show the house during the month of April, but it is a safe presumption that this guy wont even let anyone in to view it...and the house is probably dirty as heck.
I live in Texas and my house is in San Antonio.
