However, it's advisable to consult with a local attorney or property management professional to ensure that you follow the appropriate procedures and adhere to any legal requirements.Ultimately, the priority should be to protect your property from further damage and address any potential safety concerns.

Here in DC area its killing landlords as well as the small retail as the office buildings are all first floor retail/food service and the govt is not back to office or they are 2-3 days per week which for these businesses is a 406-%+ drop as typically fridays would be the day you go out for lunch etc. and now most people work from home on fridays.

First off, prioritize safety!

Just food for thought. 

I did renovate a local property and added value - in the unrenovated state the house was not rentable, not up to current safety code, etc.For example, buy $70,000 property, renovation costs $50,000 so you're all in for $120,000. 

We typically do a happy hour at a local brewery or rent a suite with catered food/drink at a local baseball game. 

I've never had an issues, it's just an extra safety measure.  

An enlightening example, is the owner of a corporation diverting unreported corporate funds to a safety deposit box, mixing in his own funds, and then spending $10’s of thousands of the corporate funds for his own personal investments, and use.

You make sure your family has food and a roof overhead. 

I still love it- great music and food, good biking and climbing and world class kayaking.
