Might have to raise the rent.
I was notified that my tenants would have difficulty paying rent since they have been furloughed, so I didn't collect rent this month. Yesterday I went to work on the house and found a brand new Honda motorcycle in the garage. Money's too tight to pay rent, but not to tight to buy a new motorcycle (I've never owned a new vehicle at all).
In fairness, it was not clear at the time that unemployment would be more lucrative than working, or that federal money was coming.
