Sure they are. It's not like brick and mortar retail is going so great they'll have strong options to replace them if forced out

Mall landlords are morons. If their tenants go out of business, there is no one taking their place.

Considering the bloodbath their typical anchor tenants have been through even in a strong economy, malls and shopping centers should be damn glad they have any tenants at all, and consider being a bit nicer about it.

They are SCUMBAGS! Mall, Shopping-Center owners can afford to NOT receive rent for an entire year. Covid19 CoronaVirus is showing the everyone among us how DESPICABLE and GREEDY many are; especially here in the USA US America. Instagram Yahoo Facebook Google Gmail NBC

wow unbelievable

I guess the owners just want the shopping centers to be even emptier than they have been the last few years.

Landlords typically don't give a sh*t about your problems.

It seems like any financial institution that is benefiting from the zero to nearly zero interest rates should allow up to four months of deferment of rent or payments due to COVID-19. Governments might want to lower interest rates to the negative range to extend this.
