Bu hhek, I would be happy too if I could collect rent for all the lease, while the apt sat empty. 

This effort will not only help to alleviate individual financial stresses, but when repeated by many our collective voice becomes so loud we can't all be ignored.

NY made it illegal to collect anything more than a TOTAL of one month's rent as part of any move-in costs. 

Basically the message is that they are demanding that the governors of all states "freeze all rent, mortgage, and utility bill collection for 2 months, or face a rent strike". 

Here’s the update:We are reducing service fees to $999/loan for our Pro customers effective April 1st.We will rebate any fees collected over the past week in excess of that amount back to you as a credit on your next loan.

(Base salary + 1% of collected jobs = Pay).  

Do I have any obligation to my tenants as the landlord or are debt collectors protected by the Fair Debt Collection Act?

Also, if he's doing a good job, he should be collecting a decent portion of the rents, at least in April.

@Tyler CagliaI have a management account (LLC) collects rents and pays bills.  

Therefore this trend will be more individual defaulters, rather than a collective community organizing.
