If your able to contact the potential tenants' employer for job status and income; that means they are in an industry declared essential.

There will be a lot of people in differing amounts of bad situations (shades of grey).Some will be fine, some will be in very bad circumstances.And those who are bad now may be OK next month, or worse off next month.There is no way to tell.Every renter is different, and will handle the situation differently, the same as every owner is different and will handle it differently.At a minimum, addressing the food issue with a recommendation to look online for COUNTY NAME FOOD ASSISTANCE.As for the rents, you will have to make some business decisions (as well as humanitarian decisions if that is within your personality) depending upon what you are presented with.Hopefully this thing is over soon, and President Trump has declared Disaster Areas for the hardest hit places, and Federal Financial Aid has been OKed also.Sometimes you can run forward quickly, and sometimes you just have to run in place--both take the same amount of energy.Good Luck!
