They might not be able to cover the entire rent, but if you speak to them individually and explain that it is imperative that they cover at least some of it, many of them might indeed pay more in the coming month than they had been planning on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They will eventually have to pay the rent anyway, so it is actually a help to them to get them to pay as much as possible now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The important thing is to be compassionate and understanding.
