How to treat Beijing's unilateral termination of rent reduction due to explosion?

Some owners said that the rented agent forced the rent reduction for free, or threatened to cancel the contract. According to media reports, well-known rental brands are free to ask the owners to reduce the rent during the contract period, otherwise they will ask to cancel the contract. Some owners said that since the beginning of the year, the customer service has been calling the owners and asking them to reduce the rent, otherwise the contract will be terminated directly. Moreover, after the termination of the contract, the owner will also bear part of the renovation costs. The company said that the owner who wants to cancel the contract can be exempted from paying two months' rent according to the contract, and the decoration cost involved does not exceed two months' rent, so the owner will not lose. However, some lawyers said that the company cannot unilaterally terminate the contract.

The contradiction lies in whether the owner should pay for the decoration. According to relevant lawyers, according to the contract, if the contract is voluntarily cancelled, the decoration cost will be borne by the company itself, and the owner does not need to pay any fees. Relevant people said that the provisions of this contract are actually biased towards the owner, because he thinks that the rent will continue to rise, so he is willing to use this contract to sign a large number of houses. However, due to the epidemic, the rent began to decline, resulting in a loss in the company's accounts. Therefore, the company would rather compensate for the liquidated damages than continue the contract, but the owner is not responsible for the renovation costs, because he can unilaterally breach the contract at will.

It is reported that Freehand is the leader in the domestic housing rental market. Last year alone, its company managed more than one million rooms, while the second and third places were 700,000 and 500,000 respectively. It can be said that Freehand firmly occupied the first place in the rental market. However, due to the impact of the epidemic, Danke Apartment has already experienced a financial crisis, and there should also be financial problems in this operation of freehand brushwork.

However, at present, the apartment just wants to end the contract in advance to reduce the loss. Because the contract was signed at the price before the epidemic, the rent can't reach the contract price at all, which means that the loss will increase again.
