If we start forgiving and giving handouts the whole system is at risk. 

Maybe I can offer a different perspective (aka unpopular opinion) since a large number of people on here is posting anecdotes about how tenants just want free handouts and have pretty nails. 

Then there is all those people your saying will loose there homes, are you saying Publishers CLearingHouse is going to hand out millions of homes?

Yes, it might be harder and yes, the govt. will have to give more handouts - BUT the reward is back to a fully functioning system in a 6-9 months, maybe longer.

Never has worked, never will.Giving a handout would be seen as much 'nicer and more humane' to someone in need rather than asking them to WORK and get PAID. 

I personally did much of what the OP listed, plus I went out there to trade shows, conventions, and or any possible event that I could find within a 5-hour driving radius when I first started in the business.

Then they will have their hand out any chance they get and may not screen the buyers as well because they want lot rent now and if the buyer is a bum, they know that I'll have to stroke checks for the dead beat.

I agree with Account Closed that there should be some relief out there for people, but I am not one for broad swath handouts. 

You can't lay off millions of people, kill the economy, revive the economy with trillions in "free" handouts, and expect no repercussions.

What I do is include a care and use of your garbage disposal Dos and Don'ts handout with their welcome packet.
