Landlord version of "washing dishes" to pay your bill

I've heard stories that customers wash dishes if unable to pay their resturant tab. That's a bartering type of recourse – or maybe just penitence. I know it's not a desirable, but what's the landlord version of this concept?

Anyone ever barter to help a tenant pay their bill?

I guess im pretty lucky, one of my tenants was laid off so he opted to try and move out as soon as i let him. He was a great tenant and Id rather keep him, avoid possible headaches with another tenant and take a slight loss. I cut his rent by 25% while he is now it charge of my landscaping for the property in which he resides.

It has worked out great so far my yard looks better thanever, he is even planning on growing vegatables in the back corner of my yard for everyone.
