Dear Forumners,

I received this request below from tenant who started renting my apartment in January 2020. Can you please advice if the request below is reasonable and am i obliged to accommodate? Thank you.

I hope all is well with you and your family during this global epidemic! I am also reaching out to request a temporary decrease in the rental of unit #### at One Shenton. During these difficult times, in order for my company to save costs and manage through the economic crisis, I have received a pay cut of 40% in salary stating in April for 3 months. There is a good chance I may receive a further cut or that the current terms are extended. Additionally, as we only recently moved, our savings have not had time to replenish. Based on current conditions, I would like to request if we could have a 40% cut in the rental cost for the unit for the next 3 months, starting with the May 15th payment. That means paying xxxxxSGD instead of xxxxxSGD for May, Jun, & Jul. Please let me know if this request is possible at your convenience. In the meantime, we wish you and yours all the best.
 
How bro? If you evict can you get another one?

-40% x 3 mo vs $0 until new tenant, go with whatever feels less painful
 
My tenants asked me for rent reduction, and I responded with a lawyer's letter. Either pay up or move out! No delays, or else deposit will be forfeited.
