3) If we think there are genuine reasons , we are offering a combination ( not all) of the following options. 3.a) Waive late fees. 3.b) Adjust their security deposit for the next months rent. 3.c) Offer flexible termination of the lease, if they want to vacate and move with family 3.d) Offer them additional 30 days to pay current rent. 3.e) Issue a notice to them that is empathetic to their situation , but also puts the eviction process rolling so it can be executed once we we want and are legally able to.4) If we believe that they are taking unfair advantage of the situation and not paying rent ( They still have their job , no sickness etc) - we are providing them a notice to intent to evict as soon as we are legally able to.Welcome thoughts on anything we can do different.Thanks
