3. Client Question:  “Does the rent paid to a landlord have to be from the period that the PPP was funded, or can it be for prior (past due rent) periods?  Said another way, I have no problem paying my past due rent – that landlord is demanding – but I want it to be from the PPP funds that are forgivable.  How do I do that?”  Know when nonpayroll costs must be incurred and/or paid to be eligible for forgiveness.
