A landlord in Portland Maine assisting tenants affected by the shutdown

Tweet

I like the way that a landlord in Portland Maine is doing what he can to ease the money problems that two of his tenants who live in a duplex that he owns are going through due to their source of income being on hold due to the corona virus problem that is closing business for the time being. Nathan Nichols who is the landlord is easing up the burden of his two tenants by asking them not to pay their rent for the month of April. Nathan admits that the reason he can afford to do this act of kindness is because he has an emergency fund and he has a full time job where he earns a living to keep his business going. Both of his tenants have jobs in the service industry which will suffer loss of clients due to the health crisis which will lessen their source of income for the current time period. Nathan is hoping that other landlords will follow his example to ease the rent burden on their tenants so their business can prosper in the long run.
