Reducing rent or terminating the contract without penalty because of force majeure

Dear lawyers,

We need your help.

I and my home mate are working in the same airline company as air hostesses and we are renting an apartment together.

We are not flying as it used to be before, because of the coronavirus crisis which means that we are not paid for flying hours and in addition to that, our basic salary is officially deducted by 40%, effective from 1st April. We are now in a critical situation.

We are not able to afford our rent due to force majeure and an unexpected situation. We shared this situation with our landlord, however, he is not showing any goodwill; either for reducing the rental fee or letting us check out from the apartment without penalty (he is basically asking for 1-month notice + 2 months early check out penalty).

I can prove that the latest salary that I will get will be evidence of our situation. Can you help us with legal advice if we can check out without paying any penalty?

Your support will be appreciated.

Our kind regards,
