NYC Halts Rent for Tenants for a Year

See the source image

New York City council suspends rent for 2 million tenants for a year amid economy struggles caused by pandemic. With a vote of 6 to 3, the Rent Guidelines Board approved a measure that suspends rents on one-year leases and imposed something similar for two-year leases that are within their initial year on the lease. This does, however, give the landlords the green light to raise rent 1% in the second year. If the tenants were granted their proposal of rent suspended for 2 years, that would allow landlords to raise rent 2% on one-year leases and 5% on two-year leases, but this was voted down.

See the source image

  Brooks Brothers, the clothing store, will be joining the slew of unfortunate bankruptcy filings. Since the filing, the two most successful companies, Authentic Brands Group LLC and Simon Property Group Incorporated are partnering up to bid for the 200-year-old chain.  Prior to the outbreak, expensive clothing lines, including Neiman Marcus Group and Dean & DeLuca, have had a difficult few years, leaving Brooks Brothers as just another front to take a hit in sales.

Due to weddings, graduations, proms, and other ceremonial events being cancelled, the “suit and tie” apparel has been traded for a more relaxed look with potential customers now working from home.
