I got the question from a tenant: he will go to unemployment because his job is close due to coronavirus and he wants to know about the rent. I have a mortgage for the house to pay. I still have to pay insurance and water bill.
I'm self-employed and due to coronavirus I can;t work either. I'm not rich and I'm depending for the check. I can't afford rent-free for my tenant. What I should tell him? I don't want to lose a tenant either.
Legally, a job loss or other lost source of income doesn't create any kind of defense to payment of rent. However, due to the COVID19 outbreak, courts are basically closed for a month and a half, so an eviction would take longer than normal. Also keep in mind, that depending on the source of your mortgage (is it federally backed?) there may be new laws and restrictions coming out that prevent an eviction. In the meantime, your tenant will be getting some money from unemployment. If you make a deal with him, make sure it's clear that you aren't waiving or changing rent, but expect him to pay ti back when he can. I think the government is likely to come up with some money to help people who are laid off pay rent. The government should ALSO work with you to delay tax payments or utility payments.
Unless and until the government steps up and suspends rents and mortgages, unfortunately this is something the two of you need to work out best you can. We are all in new territory.

Deceptive Trade Practices - Attorney General
I was recently forced to resign from my position with a non-profit. The Attorney General is charging Deceptive Trade practices. I hid and covered to protect the identity of a donor only I think I was scammed, only I can't prove it because of my covering for this person.
Anyways, I will be needing an attorney and I need to know how to find an attorney that has taken on and won against the Attorney General. I have always just wanted to help people and I can't believe I have to go through this. Please tell me how to find a strong attorney with Attorney General experience. This has cost me the job I love. I was an hourly employee. I got paid for 40 hours & worked on avg. 55 never paid for those hours, did it because I liked helping people. I was told I had full board support even told the board what I had did & they still supported me until the AG got ahold of them - I need help - please.
