President Trump has stated the US may be back in business on Easter (lets hope!).

There was serious talk, by the President and others, about opening things up by Easter.

This is a short term disaster, the president is invoking war time powers as we speak.

Lets hope the move out in the middle of the night abandoners are few and far between.And, personally I think business will pick right back up quickly when this Virus thing settles down.We have a super Pro Business Washington climate--remember this president uses the power of the pen to make things happen to increase the US Economy (JOBS).

If i were a tenant and had no money and the president said no evictions for awhile, last thing i would do is pay rent.The argument is Tenant doesnt want eviction on record.   

President Trump has declared these states major disaster areas due to the Virus.According to FEMA, this gives these state access to federal assistance programs for emergency and permanent work, as well as needed emergency medical equipment.https://www.statesman.com/news/20200325/coronavirus-in-texas-trump-issues-major-disaster-declaration-for-state

“It’s unlikely these properties will be refinanceable at maturity because of how hard they’ve been hit,” said John Smeck, senior vice president of capital markets for Colliers International in Phoenix.

There will be a lot of people in differing amounts of bad situations (shades of grey).Some will be fine, some will be in very bad circumstances.And those who are bad now may be OK next month, or worse off next month.There is no way to tell.Every renter is different, and will handle the situation differently, the same as every owner is different and will handle it differently.At a minimum, addressing the food issue with a recommendation to look online for COUNTY NAME FOOD ASSISTANCE.As for the rents, you will have to make some business decisions (as well as humanitarian decisions if that is within your personality) depending upon what you are presented with.Hopefully this thing is over soon, and President Trump has declared Disaster Areas for the hardest hit places, and Federal Financial Aid has been OKed also.Sometimes you can run forward quickly, and sometimes you just have to run in place--both take the same amount of energy.Good Luck!

A Rent Strike makes about as much sense as Joe Exotic running for President.
