Welcome to PSA Thursday, a sort of weekly-ish but not always weekly segment of the

Afford Anything podcast, the airs kind of on Thursday-ish but sometimes on Friday.

This is a bonus segment of the podcast that we rolled out in 2020 in order to specifically cover

topics related to money, work, and life in the middle of a pandemic.

These PSA Thursday episodes are stripped down bare bones versions of the podcast.

There's no intro music, no outro music. We keep it intentionally ad-free.

The episodes are quite a bit shorter. And the purpose of these episodes is to do what radio

was originally intended to do, which is communicate with people in times of crisis.

So these episodes are short to the point and meant to offer helpful actionable information

that relates to the special events of the pandemic. On the most recent PSA Thursday episode,

we had an interview with Aliza Dharana, a writer from Princeton University's eviction lab,

which is a lab that is assembling arguably the most robust, rigorous,

trove of academic research about evictions anywhere in the United States.

Now in today's episode, we will follow up on that interview with specific actionable advice

for landlords, including word-for-word scripts that you can use when you are talking to your tenants.

About potential financial difficulties that they may be facing. And we're going to break this down

into three phases. What you can say to your tenants early on and in a proactive manner before any

trouble begins, what you can say to your tenants during a time in which they're facing financial

difficulties, and then how you can communicate with your tenants and what you can say to your tenants

in an ongoing way. We also have a free giveaway with all of these word-for-word scripts that you

can use, you can print it out, you can keep it on your iPad, refer back to it whenever you're

talking to your tenants. You can download all of these scripts for free at affordanything.com-psalamlord.
