Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Impact of Covid-19: Hospitality Sector
Mr. Adrian Cummins:
It is a very good question. No, they have not. They have done very little during this crisis. They have backed away from their responsibility. Every other part of this economy has done something to help our country get up off its knees. In our opinion, landlords have done nothing. Some have, but the vast majority - 75% or more - are now demanding full rent for a time when doors were closed while turnover is down to about 25% of what it should be. That is a big issue for us.
