Reducing the rent for a few months due to COVID-19 salary reduction
Good Morning,
Due to the global pandemic, Hotels and Tourism business is majorly effected and that resulted in my 50% salary reduction for the month of March, April 2020. I am not sure if I might get paid these coming months as well.
My wife is a Cabin Crew and is effected with the same salary reduction scenario and due to no flights assigned is getting paid only 20% of the actual she was earning before the Covid-19 outbreak.
I politely requested my landlord to either decrease rent for the month my salary will be effected or extend the tenancy contract free of charge for a few months, that will ease my financial burden for the Year 2020.
Please guide me through this financial crisis & rental relief situation.
Thank you
Dear Questioner
Till date, there is no regulation to reduce the Rent Value due to the Current Pandemic. The government advises the Landlord to consider the current situation.
I believe you should try once again with the landlord mutually to relief you at least 2 to 3 months or do a discount for the period of 3 months payments.
