My Tenant Lost his Job

[PEERless]

Well, it's finally happening even in resort towns. My tenant just called to let me know that he can no longer afford to live in my apartment. We'll meet on Saturday to decide what to do. The three courses of action I can see are:

1. Enforce the lease.
2. Dissolve the lease.
3. Discount the rent or otherwise negotiate to keep my tenant.

Enforcing the lease and demanding payment for the upcoming 6 months seems unlikely. Can't squeeze blood from a stone.

Dissolving the lease seems like a way to cut my losses, but then I have to find a new tenant in the middle of a recession.

Discounting the rent is something I'll probably have to do anyway to attract new applicants, but a little rental income is better than no rental income. Isn't it? Or will this set a precedent as a pushover landlord?

Help! :nonod:
