KARACHI: Shaniera Akram, the wife of former captain Wasim Akram has urged the building owners to lower rent for their tenants due to the coronavirus outbreak.
She took to Twitter, describing the recent shutdowns of cafes, restaurants, shops, gyms, schools and play areas due to the coronavirus’ emerging cases in Pakistan.
With the recent shut downs of cafes, restaurants, shops, gyms, schools and play areas due to #CoronaVirusPakistan, building owners should show some rent leniency towards their tenants during this time of hardship so that our small businesses don’t close down for good.
