I've never run a business, but it's obvious that anytime a company has an increase in costs it's passed on to the consumer.

Any competent lender (like the one you will refer to your tenant) will give someone  viable 3 month plan within 3 minutes of looking at the non-consumer-facing credit report pulled by said lender.If it's beyond the scope of 3 minutes / 3 months, then you're looking at professional credit repair services and 18+ months.
