<prompt> Human: I rent to a husband and wife. Theyve been great tenants, keep the place nice, pay rent on time, stable, friendly they are also my neighbor as we live next door. He manages a successful restaurant and owns a profitable food truck. I never knew how much dough those can make, with super low expenses. Like printing money almost. Last year a new truck and car showed up in their driveway, perhaps a sign of improving financial health.or debt Ive just learned that he may have lung cancer. Prognosis is unknown but I assume the worst. Ive never known anyone with lung cancer to last over 6 months. This will be his second fight with cancer, which reduces his odds I hear. Heavy smoker, high stress jobs have taken their toll. So far, rent was short last month because of medical bills, but then they paid up. I think that she could pay the rent by herself, if there was no disruptive event but medical bills may soon swamp them. I cant imagine they could move out while hes ill. Im concerned I may soon have a renter that cant pay, and cant move, with a compelling sob story. It would not be the end of the world if I dont get this rent income, but it is part of how I make my living. Im not a charity, however Im also not unreasonable. Their health issues are not my problem, but it would be very hard to evict in the circumstances. What options might I have, or how do you see this playing out?  <response>: This is one of those times where you need to decide if you are going to put people over profits. If the space is paid off, then rent may not be imperative, but I can understand not being a charity. Figure out what your cost is to own the property on a monthly basis, and find a fair rent with minimal profits if you can afford the loss of income, even in the short term or at least until the situation resolved itself one way or another.
