“They paid in May, and then June came and then July and I had not heard from them,” the landlord was quoted as saying.

Following Moberly’s failure to pay their rent, Lewis offered to help them instead of asking them to leave the property. “He has two daughters,” Lewis said. “I happen to have two daughters as well, so I put myself in his shoes, and if I was in his shoes, I would want someone to do the same for me.” Along with allowing them to stay in the house, the landlord gave them $100 after Moberly explained that they had no more money left. Moberly stated that Lewis’ decision to not evict them has taken a “mountain of stress” off of his shoulders.

Aside from Moberly, many of Lewis’ other tenants have not been able to pay rent as well amid the health crisis. According to the report, this prompted the landlord to begin working on payment plans for families who can not pay rent yet until they recover from the pandemic.The community action agency of the county Moberly belongs to has likewise announced a program to help tenants like him pay their rent.
