The Coronavirus Lease

 

The question of rent payment may involve an agreement or understanding whereby the tenant is given a little bit of leeway in making the payments. An example would be when the landlord accepts a good faith effort. The tenant would pay what he or she can afford, understanding that the rest of the rent will be paid later. This can include adjustments to pay the rent after the crisis has passed. A lease extension can be negotiated to give a tenant ample time to pay what is owed.

 

Coronavirus safety protocols are essential. A landlord can establish specific procedures such as always wearing a mask inside an apartment and wearing rubber gloves when inspecting. Any contractor who is summoned for repair work must present the company protocols for coronavirus as well. Communication with the tenants is going to be critical. A landlord must not only tell all the tenants what the safety protocols are for the property, but also include what is expected of repairman. The communication between the landlord and tenant will make things a lot easier for all parties.

 

Matters can change at a moment’s notice during these times. Old pandemic restrictions might be removed, and new ones enforced. A landlord must stay on top of things to avoid getting into trouble. This is a time when there is little room for error and a small chance for forgiveness.

The pandemic has added to the landlord’s plate of things to do. That person is struggling enough to maintain a status quo and might not have the time or energy to manage all the property alone. This is a great time to consider the services of a professional third-party. Property management companies in San Diego can step forward and take over the daily running of the property.

Property managers deal with real estate challenges all the time. The best ones have created pandemic protocols and they manage apartments and rental houses according to those rules. Existing laws and regulations influence the protocols. The property manager takes a burden off the shoulders of a property owner and makes difficult situations more comfortable to handle.
