May 24: ‘Landlords will lose significant rent and good tenants in a no-win scenario.’ Readers debate Canada’s commercial rent-relief program, plus other letters to the editor GlobeDebate
: To suggest that landlords are greedy is to assume that they are waiting to evict tenants in favour of new ones prepared to pay more.
In reality, the period preceding the pandemic had the highest rents of the decade, or ever. Why would landlords want that relationship to end? Where would tenants come from who would be prepared, in a post-pandemic period of recession, to pay even more rent to “greedy” landlords?Almost all landlords will lose significant rent and good tenants in a no-win scenario.
: I can’t help but wonder if the greatest impediment to the resumption of international travel won’t be border restrictions, increased costs or onerous airport routines, but rather the lack of reasonably priced travel insurance. Without a vaccine, insurance companies may not be willing to take on the risk of cancellations and out-of-country illnesses due to COVID-19. Policies may not be available, or offered at exorbitant prices.
