Let’s focus on kindness with tenants during this very challenging time.
With so many scary and negative things happening in media, I think it’s important to keep positive and promote kindness to those around you. As housing providers, this translates directly to how we interact with our tenants.
Imagine all that people are going through, and then remember that you don’t really know a person’s full situation. Physical isolation can have impacts on people emotionally and mentally. Not to mention the extra stress if people are also experiencing job loss or reduction, and financial constraints. Add to that being an educator for their children and you can understand that many people are not necessarily in their best place right now.
We have an opportunity right now to help our tenants through this challenging time by being supportive and kind. By rising above and setting an example for interaction and relationship building that shows that we are looking out for them and able to work with them through this difficulty.
