Eat the fish and spit out the bones. 

My clients might have a few retail vacancies to deal with but they have very deep pockets and will be fine.In regards to Cheesecake Factory most tenants corporate attorneys are sending out that junk to fish for free rent and see what they can get whether they are really hurting or not.A way a landlord might handle them is to say we will look at rental deferment for 1 to 2 months and amortize over the next 12 to 24 months on top of existing rent due but to consider this request we require to see financials for your store location etc.Cheesecake Factory has a very specific large restaurant footprint that can only be located in a few spots in their desired market.

Get one of those plastic fish ponds and place it right in front of the gate on your yard .

They're just playing the numbers game, or otherwise known as "trolling" as in trolling for fish behind a boat with a line in the water, hoping to hook something. 

Perhaps they used to have a fish tang ?

As soon as you pop that can of worms, be prepared to go fishing for existing issues with the property that may need to be brought up to current IBC, Residential may maen proper handrails and accessibility egresses, whereas Commercial may be a bigger pill to swallow going so far as sprinkler and fire suppression systems.

@Josiah Patrick ZebarthThere are fish to catch and beer to drink.

I've had bad experiences with Ferrets in the past and have heard some owners restrict fish tanks over a certain size. 

If this has been a repeat situation and she has slowly killed off her entire family and the gold fish request the rent be paid immediately and yes charge the late fee.

Lots of my neighbors are fishing every day!
