Coronavirus or not, the Sask. Landlord Association offers these suggestions to help tenants overcome financial difficulty:
- Negotiating a payment plan to defer or split payments
- Reducing the rent that is normally paid or not charging it at all
- Suspend late payment fees and/or provide an additional grace period
- Encourage them to seek financial assistance through federal and provincial governments
Any changes must be documented in writing. Make sure that any agreement has clearly defined terms and time frame.
