Affected by this epidemic, some provincial and municipal governments have taken measures to restrict the flow of foreign personnel, and some residential quarters have also taken blockade measures to prohibit tenants from entering, resulting in the failure to fulfill the lease contract. If the lessee continues to pay the rent that he did not actually live during the epidemic, it is obviously unfair. At this time, the lessee can claim to reduce part of the rent according to the principle of fairness. During the epidemic, if the lessee normally uses the house and the lease contract is still performed normally, the lessee has no right to claim rent reduction during the epidemic.
18 In February, the National Development and Reform Commission and other departments 14 issued "Several Policies on Promoting the Recovery and Development of Difficult Services Industries", clearly stating that in 2022, small and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households in the county-level administrative areas where high-risk areas are located will lease state-owned houses, and the rent will be reduced for six months in 2022, and for three months in other areas. All localities can co-ordinate all kinds of funds and give appropriate help to small and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households in the service industry that rent non-state-owned houses.
