My two BYU students moved home since school since school was moved online.
My daughter's apartment offered to let her out of her contract almost immediately after news of covid-19 made it obvious that school wasn't going to continue.
My son's apartment complex had a tenant test positive for Covid-19. Because of this they closed all of the amenities on Mar 20th. They've also emailed every couple of days to let us know they expect the full amount of the rent from the contract. My contention is that since their amenities are not available as was agreed upon in the contract that renters should be given some type relief or discount. I've raised this question several times but they just give me the run around.
Is this worth pursuing or not? I don't mind paying a portion but they're not completing all of their obligations as agreed upon in the contract at this point.
I'm also wondering if these business owners are eligible for relief from their mortgage or debts in the stimulus package....but not passing it on to their consumers?
