"A business owner was trying to be open but really struggling.  They had contacted me a month ago for help finding a real estate attorney.  When this Rapid Response Landlord Tenant Mediation Program came out I recommended it to them.  When I saw the business owner yesterday, they were glowing with relief.  They said, 'I almost don't care what happens now, at least someone listened to me!'"

"A service provider I use for small jobs in my business was appreciative of getting some paid work.  He mentioned what a difficult time he is having.  I know he rents his home, so I asked if he’d heard about the Rapid Response Landlord Tenant Mediation Program?  After I shared the info, he blushed and said, 'Oh my, if I can work out how to talk to my landlord than I no be shame to see myself in the mirror when I brush my teeth.'”  

“A woman I know has 3 rental properties, likes her tenants, and wants to help them.  Each had furloughs or hours cut.  When the shutdown started, she told them not to worry about April rent, they would work things out.  When May came, she didn’t hear from any of the tenants.  She is concerned how long this situation might go on, and her brother wants his rental income share for 1 property.  She contacted me hoping for a form she could use to codify what she meant by “working things out.”  I referred her to the Rapid Response Landlord Tenant Mediation Program.  She was thrilled our community had already organized something like this.”
