Tenant lost job due to Corona layoff

[BOB CRANEY]

First tenant called today with a Corona virus related lay-off. She worked for a service that placed nursing and medical personnel in nursing homes and related businesses. Apparently they all cut off outside vendors like her company and are just making due with in-house personnel for now.

Baltimore has halted all evictions and we basically are stuck because the rent courts aren’t taking cases either we recommended she file for unemployment benefits immediately and reach out to church, friends, family and local united way for any assistance they can get to pay her rent. Hoping the other 12 units we have keep paying. Thankfully we have 50% section 8 subsidized rents.

Perhaps an option to let them out of lease and move quickly with no penalty? At least you could have a shot at renting out the unit.
