I bill him for water and he separately buys another money order but rounded up to the nearest dollar because it's such a pain for him to deal with loose change.

I have a tenant that has not paid since august 2020 and I can’t evict them. I’m working with an attorney but there hands are tied. Now it has been extended until July 2021.  This can’t be right. What can I do? I read ...

The stimulus packages have provided rent relief and for any tenant who hasn’t applied they have committed fraud when they said on the cdc declaration they are doing everything possible to pay rent and need to be relocated to subsided government housing in jail.  

This process has been very painful.

I’ve been experimenting with the same modest bump and adding an addendum that the tenant agrees that a steam cleaning of carpets and professional deep clean will automatically be charged to the security upon exit.Less painful for them then coming up with the money, usually (!)

Technically, if the tenants don't follow CDC Affidavit requirements, they can still be evicted.CERA: COVID Emergency Relief Act pays up to 12 months past rent + 3 months future + utilities.

It was a pain, particularly because I was just getting started when COVID hit, but once I got my systems down, I discovered it really doesn't take nearly as much work as residential rentals.That same owner asked me to help him find more storage units to buy.

@Michele Fischer I hadn't considered government relief as a possibility.

My goal is to focus on sharing the mistakes and solutions I've found (when I found solutions) hoping to save some of you the pain...

It is a little bit of a pain, but, doable.
