Tenants may be able to reduce their liabilities through landlord agreements. People who have been good tenants may find that their landlord will work with them to set up a payment plan. Tenants will have more luck facing the property owner head on. Tenants should ask landlords to renegotiate rents. A reduction now will lessen how much is accumulating. At the least they may be able to convince the property owner to reduce or waive late fees if they are clearly making a good faith effort to pay their rent. If your client is receiving rent subsidies, they should contact the housing agency immediately. Agencies using government funding for this are obligated to reduce rents to a percentage of income, even if the income goes down to zero. Renters in these programs will not accrue back rent payments during the lapse of income. However, they are also obligated to notify the housing agency as soon as their income is restored. Unreported income is grounds for a loss of subsidy. Once lost, your client will go on a new waiting list that can be months or even years long. Some programs may bar them from eligibility if they violate this obligation.
