General and percent of my sales i can rent a stark i would like to do that same amount as a percentage after the end of the year. As a means of being able to survive but some landlords are unwilling. Thats why state senator scott wiener has proposed legislation that will create an incentive for landlords to renegotiate it. Allows a tenant a business to invoke a negotiation period of 30 to engage in that negotiation and that if the negotiation is unsuccessful. The tenant has the option to terminate the lease and that gives the tenant leverage so theres actually a 2 sided negotiation wiener says the commercial Real Estate Industry opposes the bill. But he says theyre losing sight of the implication of keeping the rent as is or even charging more choice is not between. The current rent or lower rent. Its a choice do lower rent or no rent because of a cyst on its high rents that are no longer viable these businesses will just go away and people declare bankruptcy to get out of their debt obligation to turn result and the landlords will get absolutely nothing.
