They will call the bluff and stop paying. Mass evictions probably wont be tolerated.

Having acted as a landlord before, and having rented before, the only thing either party can really do is ask nicely and hope for the best.

On either side of the table, I'd hope for the fastest return to an ideal situation.

Luckily my company is doing fine, and I can work from home, so my income is still stable. Hopefully that makes it easier for the guy I'm paying rent to, to be easier on his other tenants that can't afford to pay.

It's one of those "I might need it myself someday" kinda things.
