I was touched by this story from Arkansas, where the landlord is telling is not only letting restaurant owners skip paying rent, but also strongly encouraging them to take those funds and instead direct those payments to the payroll of their employees.
The company, Young Investment Company in Arkansas, owns several buildings occupied by restaurants, and announced on Facebook that it won’t expect rent from those businesses in April. “We ask that you use this money instead to pay your employees and take care of your family. Stay strong. We will get through this together!” Young Investment Company wrote. CBS News has reached out for more information.

I’d love to recognize landlords and businesses that do these kinds of actions, so please reply to this post via the button at the bottom, and add in the landlords and what they’ve done. Please include a link to the story, if possible.
