What are you doing differently since the COVID-19 pandemic began? We are an essential business so we are open. We are eliminating late and lien fees during the crisis as well as cancelling auctions. We will work with tenants who have lost their job and are having difficulty paying rent. We are also taking extra care to clean all touchable surfaces and we use face masks and gloves as appropriate.
