You are a very confused man:

You are confusing the difference between Legal rights and Moral rights.

Legal rights are the things people can do or have unalienable access to as codified in the laws and statutes that govern the land.

Moral rights are the things that people can do or have unalienable access to as defined to the prevailing societal conventions of the time.

The Federal and States leaders are exercising their legal rights to limit certain social activities to try to contain a GLOBAL PANDEMIC.

Morally and Leagaly we (you,I and everyone else) owe it to our fellow citizens to follow the social guidelines put on us by our legally elected leaders.

You may want to refer to the 3 Documents which framed the Moral and Legal framework of the United States:

Magana Carta (Established the Moral Obligations of the Leader of the Colonies in America)
Declaration of the United States (The Consequences of and Reasons England lost it's Moral Right to govern th colonies)
Constitution (Which codifies the Moral Rights into a framework for Laws in the United States)

So No you nor I do NOT have the Moral or Legal right to "pick and choose" what is "right or wrong"

In your posts you keep asserting that your "right" to be stupid and possibly infecting other during a GLOBAL PANDEMIC is equivalent to someone following the legal social restrictions meant to keep everyone including you as safe as possible.

In a Global Pandemic we are ALL in the same boat and the sooner that WE close the infection rate AND develop a Vaccination, the sooner we will be able to ALL get back to work.

You are such a hypocrite;

FIRST in your original post you say :

"If I want to take the risk and go outside, go to work, go to a sporting event, go to a concert, go to a bar, go to a restaurant, go to my brother’s house(!), then that it MY right to do that."

THEN you say :

"You can't pick and choose who has certain rights and who doesn't."

So it's OK for you to have the right to risk infecting other because it's YOUR right, then you assert that NO ONE has can pick and choose what is right for someone else.

Normally a contrarian person is interesting, but i find you to be disingenuous at best.

May Rents - Who has received rent or does not expect to receive their Rent ?
. I received an early rent check from 1 tenant for May 2020 and do not anticipate any late payments. (Will wait and see)

If you have a tenant who is NOT paying their rent and/or it  looks like they will not be paying their rent for the future. Landlords can offer them $$ to move.
. It's always better to have a paying tenant than a non paying one.
. Make sure you get it in writing and that any payment is made after the Tenant moves out.

Most Landlords would rather loose 1 to 2 months rent than to have a nonpaying Tenant for 6 to 8 months

@Clarence Ling

Yes, you and EVERYONE else is in a holding pattern until this is resolved. Continue to file failure to pay and watch the Amounts that you don't exceed the $5000.00 limit for small claims.

If you have a mortgage conttact your lender immediately.

If you think this is going to go on for a long time. Offer your tenants $$ to move immediately. It's better to get a new paying tenant for 12+ months than to keep a Non Paying tenant.

@Aaron Gordon

A seller can disclose rent history for a property at anytime, in fact, Buyers should insist on disclosure.

@Dustin Peters

. Another option is to just bundle them into one loan with the lender.
. I would not un-sub divide them as its an un-needed expense. 

@John Stapleton

I've found that Credit Unions offer the best terms for a HELOC

I see at least 5 different ways Landlords can turn this into a scam and abuse the provisions without violating the provisions.

The main way to abuse this is as follows:

A Landlord has a property that normally rents for $500.00 a month (Lets just say a Ozark rundown trailer)
. Landlord rents property to a friend or family member for $2000.00 a month (Cousin Jake working at McDonalds)
. Cousin Jake claims to have "lose his job"
. Landlord applies to program and receives a relief check for $2000.00 a month for a $500,00 property .
