Malacañang on Thursday clarified that there is no rent freeze for residential tenants struggling to cope with financial impacts of the coronavirus pandemic.
Lessors, however, must comply with the 30-day grace period on the payment of commercial rents, a provision of the Bayanihan to Heal As One Act, according to Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque.
“Wala pong freeze in rental ang napaloob sa Bayanihan 1 or 2. Ang mayroon lang po iyong reprieve sa pagbabayad ng upa,” Roque said in his virtual presser.
“Mayroon naman po tayong ongoing na rental law ‘no, na iyong mga maliliit na renta eh talagang hindi po pupuwedeng gaanong magtaas ng singil,” he added.
The spokesman likewise appealed to landlords and lessors to be compassionate to their tenants during these challenging times.
“Pero nakikiusap po ang Presidente at sinabi naman po niya ito, hindi lang isa kung hindi dalawang beses na, eh magbayanihan naman po tayo sa panahon ng pandemya.
“Sana maging maunawain ang mga nagpapaupa, wala po sana silang i-eject at magtulungan po tayo sa panahon ng krisis gaya nito,” he concluded.
