If you have good rapport with your tenants, just ASK them to show you proof of when they are getting laid off. Then WORK with them, on a weekly basis if you have too. As I said, we are ALL going to be hurt in this crisis. Nobody WANTS to be in this crisis, but we are ALL in it, TOGETHER!
Yes, we can all start formal eviction procedures against tenants. But what if an entire State Court System shuts down for 30-90 days ? Some national banks are already delaying foreclosure proceedings for 90 days. WORK with your tenants, just as you may be asking your bank to work with YOU next month.

Unfortunately, I do not have a good relationship with my current tenant because I have caught her in several lies, so I plan on not renewing her lease, which expires on August 31. I am certain that she is living at least partly on alimony since her divorce in 2017 and is also receiving child support for her 2 sons. This woman had a job that paid $150K a year and a very high credit rating when she came to me in 2016 during the divorce. Shortly after the divorce, she claimed she lost her job because she filed a sexual harassment suit against her employer, but I am very skeptical. I just don't want to be taken advantage of because of the current situation, should she tell me she cannot pay the rent. I think I should at least request proof of unemployment.

    Why should you care what your T has said in the past? That's the PAST. The Question is, is your T current with her rent NOW? If you don't get along with your T, then start your state's eviction procedures as soon as rent is not paid. You have the legal right to do that. It's up to YOU if you want to work with your T in these crisis times. This is NEW TERRITORY for ALL LLs and Ts alike.

      Get a load of this. I just got an email from Mass Landlords that there is a bill in Massachusetts that, if passed, would JAIL LANDLORDS just for telling their tenants to pay their rent during this time. Please see the link below.

      in my city there is a moratorium on evictions for non payment. So I would not want to be one of the statistics across the country that they use to show the greedy LL.
      I am prepared to talk to Chase Bank to waive any penalties to the mortgage if I run into trouble.
