Some stores are out of milk and eggs, whereas others that are 5 minutes away are out of something else. 

I can agree to payment plans with all my tenants except those that drive diesel cars, believe the earth is flat, or think dark chocolate is better than milk chocolate.

Those that felt the need to hoard that item (no idea why) already did and soon the stores will be stocked and a lot of people have a 4 year supply so won't be buying more soon...Probably the same with cleaning supplies, hand sanitizer, bread, milk, eggs, flour and some of the other "empty shelf" items.

I can afford the cost of milk, bread, and gas to double if it means my rental rates due the same.

@Natalie Cloutier Thanks for sharing your email, I want to communicate with my tenants that there is help and understanding available...but at the same time I don't want to give them ideas that I'm prepared to wheel and deal with them and open up a door that they can milk.

Then provide them resources for unemployment or other hiring companies like the super markets.I know a few of my tenants will milk the situation as long as possible, but others are still getting pay checks, and a few that have trust payments and other various fixed incomes, that I am counting on actually paying.Any insights or ideas are welcomed!

I have my popcorn with a tall glass of diet milk waiting for this answer. 

It's difficult to forgo payment entirely, it's not like you can walk into a grocery store and ask for free milk and eggs because you lost your job.

It must be that people want to milk as much money as possible from their property and an offer 30-20% below market value will not make the cut.

I can't tell you how good it made me feel to deliver milk, eggs, water and bread to a woman with 5 kids on oxygen as she was about to walk down to the store.
