He is also indicating some apartment complex waived their rent for 4-months. How would they even survive? I'm not some big conglomerate corporation.
Also, when is this Govt payment going to be direct deposited? Do we have a firm date?

This is why I'm glad I'm not a landlord right now. You're in a lose/lose situation if it's someone that lost their job.
Have them pay rent as normal? They may not have enough money to keep living, but you can pay your normal bills.
Give them the month off? They have enough money to survive, but you may not be able to pay your normal bills.
