Market rent reduction for tenant who is behind on current rent
Would you agree with market rent reduction for a tenant who is behind on current rent? The tenant is currently on a month to month rental agreement and claims COVID 19 eviction protection due to his reduced income. He recently deposited 1.5 months' worth of rent but is still about 1.5 months behind. He asked to reduce his rent by $500 which would result in the rent amount that Zillow currently shows for the property. He would not guarantee that he can pay new rent in full and current CA law only requires 25% to avoid eviction.
