到现在为止，有两个房客来邮件想迟交房租。说实在的，原来没想到会是他们第一批来问，因为他们是白玉和半白玉房客，都住了一年半左右，一直按时交房租，也不找麻烦。

第一个来问的是个半白玉房客，妻子是中学老师，丈夫开Uber，丈夫可能受影响，但妻子是稳定的。妻子几天前问能不能延期交租，因为大多数公司都是这样，还转发煤气公司的信，里面说不会因为不交费而断煤气。我感觉她是想试探，就回了封短信，讲明我也有很多账单要付，要她按时交房租。她很快回信说: Don't worry. Rent will be paid. 这封短信见下，大家没准有用：

Hello,

You are the first one who asked us about rent extension. We thought about it. We are small house owners, normal people just like you. We are also suffering and are in the same boat as you. But we still need to pay for city property tax, mortgage, insurance, repairs, etc. The city didn't tell us that we can pay tax late. And no super markets will allow us to get groceries without payment.

Government will send checks to every adult and children in the next few weeks. If one loses his/her job, please file for unemployment benefits immediately. Don't forget about tax refunds. And family and friends are also sources of funds.

It is hard on everyone. We make all house payments because we value a roof over head. Please try your best to pay rent on time.

Thank you,

昨天收到一个白玉房客的长邮件，这房客是个director，收入十几万的，离婚后带着一个孩子搬来的。她说公司可能要暂时关门，工资只能发到4月3号，所以4月和5月房租都要求晚交，等她下月知道公司的具体计划，finds out what aids she can qualify，在4月20号前她会给一个payment计划。她最后强调了她已住18个月，一直按时付房租。

我觉得这房客现在一下子说两个月暂不交，有点过了。她现在还有工资，收入高应该有积蓄，至少能交4月房租。因为这是个白玉房客，所以把上面第一次的回信改得比较客气点。正好老朽说应该问房客要证明材料，就在信末加上了这条。回信附在下面。下午写好信后发给房客，房客过一会回信: 理解，4月房租会按时付。她的公司可能5月6月都开不了，等4月她知道更多情况后再来商量5月的房租。

这两个房客还算情况可以的，要求付4月房租也就付了。白菜房客还没来联系，不知道是什么情况，没准直接就不交了。政府大喇叭广播说房东几月之内不能evict，给很多房客以错觉，有可能会出现恶意不付房租的。

Hello,

That was a big surprise. We are also suffering and are in the same boat as you. We did not expect that you asked to defer your rent since you seem to have had very good income. But we will work with you.

First just let you know, we are only small house owners. We need to pay for city property tax, mortgage, city water/sewer, insurance, maintenance, etc. The city didn't tell us that RE tax can be paid late. Our lender, which is not FHA backed, didn't allow us to pay mortgage late either at this time.

We just break even as our rents are very reasonable. We didn't prepare for a loss of April rent at only 5 days before April 1st. For May 1st we may be better prepared.

We ask that your April rent be paid on time on April 1st. And we will work with you on your May rent. We will also waive all late fees.

There are funds available to you: Government will send checks to every adult and child in the next few weeks; If you lose your job, you will get unemployment benefits soon after you file claim; There are rent aids to tenants from state government, so check with them; Don't forget tax refunds; And family and friends are also sources of funds.

If you ask for delayed payment of May rent, we will need your cooperation to provide following:

- Proof of loss of income or job due to COVID-19 in the form of a letter from your employer stating date of termination, as well as a copy of last pay stub or check.

- Proof that you have applied for unemployment compensation, and other financial aids if applicable.

- Bank statements.

- A payment plan.

Thank you.
