Judging from the current results, the impact of the epidemic on long-term rental apartments is definitely more harmful than beneficial. There is a simple reason. The epidemic has affected everyone's work and life, and everyone's income has dropped a lot, so expensive apartments can't be rented. Many landlords have to raise rents in order to maintain their business, which makes it more difficult for migrant workers to rent houses, and finally a vicious circle has emerged. On the one hand, everyone can't accept the rising rent, on the other hand, the landlord wants to raise the price, so there is an irreconcilable contradiction here.

As an industry seriously affected by the epidemic, the profit contraction of long-term rental apartments has become an inevitable fact. Because rent is linked to income and wages are reduced, people naturally can't afford to rent expensive houses. At this time, there are only two solutions, either to change places or to reduce rents. However, the landlord's own income has fallen sharply because of the decrease in customers, and it is impossible to reduce the rent for others. So the only way out for most migrant workers is to change houses. Of course, this does not mean that they will not rent a house, but change to a cheaper place, or simply share the pressure with others. In either case, the decline in industry profits is inevitable.

No one is right or wrong in rational discussion, and it is helpless for the landlord to raise the rent. After all, they are also burdened with loans, and in the case of few guests, they can only maintain their business in this way. However, for the bottom workers, the losses are even more serious, and they lost their jobs because of the decline in income brought by the epidemic. Now the rising cost of renting a house will definitely make their situation worse. Now it seems that this is a lose-lose situation, and neither side can benefit from it.

In fact, industries that have been hit hard like long-term rental apartments abound, such as catering industry, film and television industry and tourism industry. Everyone is struggling to survive in their own way, and many times they can only take measures that have no way. The epidemic situation is a problem that everyone has to face directly and has a serious impact on the economy. Only by thoroughly overcoming this difficulty can everyone's life really get better.
