This landlord in Maine said that he will not make his tenants pay rent for the month of April due to the outbreak of COVID-19.
He is encouraging other landlords to do the same, since some families are having a difficult time. Nathon Nichols, the landlord from South Portland, Maine owns two units and said one family has a single hourly income and a small child.
In total, he has six tenants, Nichols stated “It would be a lot more expensive for me to lose a tenant than to give one month’s rent off, If more people do this, which is the only reason I posted this in the first place, to hopefully get people to take a hard look at what they can do to keep things working."
