Is it reasonable for the landlord to be free of rent because of the epidemic?

I rented a house, and it was also because of the epidemic that the other party lowered the house price, which was really touching. And also told me that I don't have to pay the rent quarterly, but once a month. There are many examples of this situation around us.

Because of the serious epidemic situation, many people are blocked from returning home. They may be far away from home, but they will still miss the empty house rented at work, and they will feel a little distressed. Recently, a landlord in Baiqiang Village, Jiading Industrial Zone, took the initiative to call the tenants in Anhui and told them that they were at home and that the rent in February would be reduced.

The warm-hearted landlord's name is Zhang Dongxing. Seeing that the epidemic situation is getting more and more severe, he thinks of two Anhui young couples who rent in their own home. In order to make them feel at home and put off coming to Shanghai, I called them and offered to reduce their rent. Zhang Dongxing said: "It doesn't matter to us to charge a few hundred yuan less rent. In an emergency, they can't work, have no income, and can't increase their burden any more."

There are three rented houses in Zhang Dongxing, each with an area of about 15 square meters. The two young couples signed a house lease contract with Zhang Dongxing for two years, and the rent for each house is 4 yuan per month. Mr. and Mrs. Chen rent one room and Mr. and Mrs. Xiaodu rent two rooms for 8 yuan every month. Now, Zhang Dongxing has offered to give them a monthly 1 yuan reduction for each room. If they can't return to Shanghai in February, the rent will be reduced accordingly.

The two couples who rented in Zhang Dongxing's house are both from Anhui, and the husband and wife came to Shanghai to work hard and engage in architectural decoration. Xiao Du and his wife have been renting here for three years, while Xiao Chen and his wife came last August. Because the two young couples are born in 198s, Zhang Dongxing and his wife also regard them as "their own junior" on weekdays. When they see that they go out early and come back late for work, Zhang Dongxing will tell them like their father not to be too tired and pay attention to rest. And Zhang Dongxing's wife will give them the vegetables she grows, and when they are not at home in rainy days, she will also help them accept their clothes. It is really warm.
