Business is awful to the point that I have not had the option to finalize any negotiation since March 2020. Regardless, tenants who are as yet living in the city, consistently call me, requesting that I connect with the landowner for rent decrease as the open cycle permits more individuals to abandon the city and move to the places where they grew up, as they keep on telecommuting.
Regardless of the staged opening of the economy, consultants utilized in the city's entertainment world don't anticipate that creation action should get going all out any time soon.
