How is everyone handling residents that can't pay their rent due to work shut down?

How is everyone handling residents that can't pay their rent due to work shut down?

Court houses closed so can’t file for evictions either.

Colin Fletcher some not all

Wait for another 48-72 hours.

Most courts are resetting cases until after the 1st part of April... some courts are accepting new filings but not providing a court date, some courts are reducing docket sizes to eliminate how many people are at the court at one time... it really Varys by court

We are working on the details, but we will be waiving late fees and parts of April rent if residents are experiencing reduced or eliminated work hours.

Kelle W Senyé how are you verifying?

Joe, still ironing that out, but check stubs or a note from the employer, likely.

The first isn’t even here yet!

Barbara Mabry I have a resident who is a bartender and they shut down his bar till April 1. He’s freaking out. We’re talking about doing an extension for April

Morgan Jackson my son is a bartender and lives about 4 hours away from me...it's truly a scary time for these kids (well, he's 25 and responsible).. unlike others his age, i know he has savings but still..he is pretty worried about this and rightfully so. Plus i'd help him as well..but not everyone has people to fall back on when they are told they cannot work due to a situation out of their control.

Waiting patiently to see what happens with it ..but bv here in st clair county Illinois they are only doing felonies and domestic battery cases..no evictions or set outs

Not worrying about till it happens...corp will let us know....

townships and food pantry are assisting

Can't pay...can't stay rent was due way before virus got bad

Myra Defoe thanks for adding to the problem. You might want to consult with your boss before saying things like this lol

Carlos Neto I am thinking unlike some I am doing my job in accordance with my HO and not borrowing trouble before it is here.....I am not a panic pusher....If your company has decided to be a panic pusher go for it no problem I won't judge anyone for it....guess what as of yesterday I have 100% of my rent collected...good luck to you and your's

Jenny Brown I am in accordance with my HO. We are aware of what is going on we have just decided to not borrow trouble before it gets here we are not going to be a panic pusher .If your company has decided to be a panic pusher go for it no problem I won't judge anyone for it....guess what as of yesterday I have 100% of my rent collected...good luck to you and your's

We are only worried about next month

Just had my first call......we'll have to see how this plays out

Not even considering evictions. Waiving late fees and working out payment arrangements. This is out of a lot of residents hands. No one has called yet but that is our plan.

rent was due on the first! So this should be affecting anyone for March, But April is going to hit us all for sure

If it’s the same ones month after month and every month, than No!

Crickets from my company.

Our courts announced current evictions are on hold until at least mid April.....no new evictions until June at the earliest.....we are going to work with residents and do what we can...

Emily which court is this? Most of them are scheduling at the end of April.

Shaunna Hampton This was announced in the City of Dayton

We put a policy into place the day the first case was confirmed in our county. We proper “out of work” verification from a doc or employer we will allow a tenant to sign a repayment agreement and pay April and/or May rent over the next 6 months. We notified all tenants last week and have received a few thank you’d but no applications for late payment, yet.

The bill states right now that businesses under 500 employees still have to pay people

Well there’s no evictions at the moment where I am sooooo

I just saw a petition circling for MA residents calling on the governor to suspend all rent/mortgage payments

If a resident hasn't paid rent by the 16th, it's not due to corona virus!

Shelley Emmett really? If they don’t have income? What’s the difference if they don’t pay on the first to not paying on the 16th?

Carlos Neto very true statement, where we live it’s a tax credit property and most of our residents work or on a fixed income and half don’t work. And rent is due in two weeks and I’m worried for them all.

I was referring to March rent. If they haven't paid by now, it's not due to the virus or work shutdown. And I did not mean to be insensitive or to strike a nerve with you.

All my cases have been postponed until May 13th and these were from last month...no Corona in February but okay...let's figure it out together.

I created a spreadsheet tracker for each of my properties to log, we are waiving late fees for April (ownership approved) and will be flexible with payments for those affected - also ownership approved.

Halting evictions until end of April. So far so good

Halting evictions in Denver

We are discussing with our insurance companies on the sites to prepare for this. It is my understanding, so far (and may change) that how a discount/rent forgiveness is reflected affects if they can consider covering as a business loss.
I would be hard pressed to believe any court would side with the PM over a sick, recently recovered or someone who was laid off/stood down during the pandemic.
Track closely and you should be able to get something from their doctor in regard to Covid-19 impact to help your case.
Also, start thinking ahead on how to handle if/when it hits your site and work orders, notifying staff, also identifying vulnerable neighbors in case they end up isolated for longer. And are your emergency contacts up to date in resident files?
Ps remove your candy dishes...

What about in Florida?

You know many employers are still paying their employees if they are due to the corona virus. I would verify before just doing it
