My husband's tenant of 3 months stopped paying rent after the first month. She gave him a partial payment of $1500 towards the $2000 rent for the second month and now she is in the process of applying for RAFT assistance, which she apparently had at her last rental. Getting the RAFT funds could take months if she is approved again.

Tenants can get up to 10k in a rolling 12 month period. I would have you husband call a constable and provide the tenant a 14 day notice. When he fills out the ledger of how how much rent is due add the constable fees in the ledger. RAFT tends to act faster when the tenant/owner can show documentation that the landlord is evicting them.
