You might want to look into shelter rules in your jurisdiction. Where I live, the government has put a 6 month moratorium on many types of evictions. Regardless, your landlord may be happy to negotiate an extension on your existing lease. Bird in the hand, and all that.

I thought Reno was a city in western Nevada.

I echo what Diana said. I would talk to your landlord about extending your lease for at least another 6 months. That will give you a bit of breathing room.

I would talk to your landlord as he will probably be in a bind of not being able to show your apartment to prospective tenants. See if you can negotiate an extension. He might charge a bit more to go to a month to month. Depending on where you live though, he might be concerned about you moving during a “hard to rent” time of year. (Basically November to March here, with December to February being most difficult.)

I suspect the landlord may be delighted to have a reliable, paying tenant, particularly if some of those predicting a recession are correct.

Thank your husband for his work. What I have seen doctors (on TV) doing for others on the front lines of this virus is amazing. Fortunately you have a couple months to negotiate... I would first negotiate for a lease extension with your landlord by phone or in person (safely distant) because it is harder for them to say no in person than in writing. Try to talk to someone who has authority to vary from their rules. If landlord isn't amenable to an extension I would immediately complain to my local congressional representative's office (they all have constituent services departments) and even the local press because you have a compelling story.

Many Airbnb units are now being held for front line workers and some are even at no cost. My brother has an Airbnb and while tourism has disappeared he is getting tons of requests from those remodelling whose projects are at a standstill. There should be options out there.
