Concerned about the financial impacts on your business due to lost rental income during COVID-19? This article will provide 3 ways in which you can protect your rental income during a pandemic.

#1: Assure Future Rent Payments.

One in four Americans are likely feeling immediate financial impacts from the coronavirus pandemic, according to Pew Research Center. With the majority of Americans living paycheck to paycheck, it is likely that you have tenants who are unable or will be unable to afford their rent payments.

In order to assure rental income in the upcoming uncertain months, connect your current tenants to the financial help they need. Send out tenant communications about financial resources available to them and provide simple steps on how they can access financial help. 

For information on what financial resources are available to your tenants check out this Guide to Getting Tenants Financial Help. Connecting your tenants with these resources will provide them the financial stability they need to pay their living costs during these tough economic times.
