Unfortunately some of these businesses are done; the rents/mortgages/property tax payments weren’t forgiven. Herein the NYC metro area they are very high.
There was a news story a few weeks back about a barber shop in NYC re-opening - and the landlord showed up on the first day with a bill for several months’ rent. The business owner said he could recover going forward but had no way to deal with those bills in arrears.
Some will open a new business elsewhere. The landlords are shortsighted because demanding rent of someone who cant pay is insane. Its not like there are dozens of people lining up to take that space and an empty building doesnt pay the landlords mortgage.
There is an idea for a tax break for landlords who forgive rent payments.
