Speculative lending right now is drying up some but high quality assets lenders are more bullish on as a (flight to safety) for their loan portfolios.

I don't know if the policy changed or if they moved it. 

Has anyone spoken to their insurance companies yet regarding if a loss of rent policy is included if tenant's simply just cannot pay rent and by law cannot be evicted?

Our policies will change slightly, as the government will force that upon us (temporarily no evictions).

They should not be allowed to fine nor threaten regarding pet policy.   

In this case, I would think this present situation would exponentially impact small government agencies such as housing authorities not to mention the true fall out of this once tenants stop paying rent and emergency rent relief policies take hold etc...I think they will be inundated for several months from when the virus outbreak is actually contained and starts to contract.2)  I am hoping that the Federal Government will emergency fund the Section 8 program in order to pay for the tenant portion of the rent. 

B ecause the safety and well-being of our Settlement Officers, Realtors, and their clients is most important to us, we’ve implemented the following process changes.

Again, without focusing on the potential downside to this (and other relaxations of policy), the upside of it is that FNMA is now considering allowing the same type of appraisal that I am hoping to line up. 

Your insurance policy may also have coverage for this.For the future, reserves should always be in an account in your name only. if there is a quick need for funds, you can always transfer them to their account/bank in a day or less.

GoC call centre is overwhelmed currently, assuming safety measures are followed in person Service Canada locations may be quicker.
