Tenant and her father (who she lives with) have both been furloughed

and in March asked if she can reduce her rent by 70% for a few months, which we agreed to.

Found out today she's been paying off other debts (presumably loans/credit cards) before us.

Is it unreasonable to insist she sends us a full breakdown of her finances, including take-home pay, outgoings, savings, etc?

People can be rather touchy on this. not sure you can ask for that info might lead to a ****storm.

Yes, it is unreasonable. Unless your agreement to cut her rent was contingent on her paying you before other people who aren't suck...errr so understanding, you've no justification for asking for these things.

Tbh he's been incredibly generous, we should be proud of him. Even if he has been duped a bit.

Yes. I agreed to keep paying the cleaner to do fúck all during this period, but forgoing 70% of rental income is tearing the arse out of it a bit imo.

You’d threaten eviction?

No, of course not. But it's quite a hit to ask someone to take when you're still being paid 80% of your normal income.

At the time we agreed to cut her rent it wasn't clear when the furlough payments would be backdated, so it was reasonable to think she really was going to struggle, but she's certainly had it by now, so if she's still claiming she can only stretch to £500 (between her and her also furloughed father) then I'm pretty comfortable asking for more transparency.
