But now, it may not be the case due to the tremendous amount of layoffs and I would not like to have a vacant unit for x months nor would I like to decrease rent.Would you take this risk?

My boss told me that this will be temporary and that they will hire me back as soon as possible.  

I don't think we will see a decrease in the desirability/cost of the Boston market anytime soon.

Don't make the assumption your tenants can't pay rent because of a temporary loss of job.

All of the "temporary" QE that was done in 08+ was barely ever let expire.

@Donald Servick Yep, and even though this provision is temporary, once it's been made clear that closings can be conducted this way without the world coming to an end, I don't think it's likely that we ever go back to the bad old days!

Two days later we were informed by the tenant that the gas was shut-off to their respective space served by the package rooftop units whereby portable electric baseboard heaters were purchased and brought in to provide temporary heat until such time a final decision could be reached as to whether to repair/replace the existing package rooftop units.

This set up can handle 1 property or 1000  and works with multi unit properties too.Also decreases the annual accounting cost because any any accountant can download your files and understand the set up.And yes it can also track Maintenance by either using Quotes or Job Cost as your maintenance tracking.

@Collin H. people travelling distance for temporary stays, that are not essential, means they are likely being less socially distant then if they stayed put, and is the behavior most are recommending is stopped.I'm not sure where your vacation rentals are, but many VR areas are not accepting non-locals as the areas have fewer hospitals and related capacity, so a surge in people escaping cities would overwhelm local resources and hospitals.You have a bizarrely cavalier attitude in this wildly unique time. 

Or if you want to find a way to make it work with the current tenant, there are lots of ideas in the forums for assisting someone with temporary financial hardship due to coronavirus.
