Tenants Must Pay Rent If Able
During Covid19 Pandemic Whereas Moratorium Ceases Eviction Only
Author: Bruce ParsonsDate Posted: March 30 2020
What About Rent?
Tenants who can pay their rent must do so, to the best of their abilities. Landlords are entitled to collect compensation from a tenant for each day that an eviction order is not enforced. However, tenants who are asked to self-isolate or who can’t work may have difficulty paying their rent.
Note: Please contact Paladin LLP by phone at: (289) 925-1572 to discuss any specific questions that you may have.
We encourage landlords and tenants to work together during this difficult time to establish fair arrangements to keep tenants in their homes.
Tenants who are having challenges paying rent should speak with their landlords about possibly deferring their rent or other payment arrangements.
