... paying rent. He teaches music from home but doesn't earn much. Sometimes he has alot of students sometimes none. At the moment he has hardly any and asked if I could reduce the rent until he pays back the $1200. He's just been getting by and not paid me anything. I'm missing out on $57 in rent every week until he pays me back-money I'll never see again. He doesn't look committed to paying me back the money in a hurry. My question is this: am I better off to keep up with the reduced rent indefinitely in the hope that he starts paying the debt off soon, or, am I better to put the $115 rent money he's giving me towards the debt and get a token $30 for rent until the debt is paid off. This would take approximately 11 weeks. After that, rent goes back up to normal. This would mean I would get a definite $300 back ($30 he'd be giving me as token rent), but then I wouldn't be missing out on the $57 each week till god knows when. Financially, what's the best option?
