Supporting Services: Rent Negotiation during Covid-19

27 May 2020

Rent Negotiation

The last few months have been tough. No matter who you are or where you are in the world, everyone has been impacted by the spread of Covid-19. We see it in the health of our loved ones, the struggle of frontline workers and the devastating economic repercussions. As many countries now enter a new phase of trying to establish a sense of normalcy, there is a hope that so much uncertainty will begin to lessen. However, many people are still struggling financially and are looking for ways to ease the pressure in order to weather the storm. Here at EER we want to reach out and assist where we can with a range of new services specifically formulated to combat the impact of this global pandemic. The first of these services is Rent Negotiation.

Rent Negotiation

2020 is the 15th anniversary of EER’s founding here in Dubai. Through good times and bad times we have maintained a stable and robust operating level thanks to our dedicated team and unrivalled expertise. Our local knowledge allows us to navigate the nuances of relocation, housing and immigration, so we can advise you on the best course of action to suit your situation and your business. So many people are finding themselves in financial struggles, perhaps through a salary reduction or temporary halt, or even a job loss. In those situations, one of the biggest concerns will be around housing. That is why we have launched our new Rent Negotiation Service to aid individuals in residential properties who desperately need some form of relief. With the ever changing updates and directives it can be hard to know what your rights and options are. Numerous articles that claim to have news can be confusing. At EER we have the latest information and government guidelines so we can assess your situation, advise you on what to expect and negotiate rent relief for you.

In this together

The key to successfully overcoming the challenges resulting from the pandemic is our ability to work together. It is vital that we have compassion and understanding for those around us. We know how alarming it is to feel financially insecure and to be concerned about the future, but resorting to tunnel vision isn’t the right solution. That is why we are focused on individual circumstances and how to find the best way forward. Many landlords will be struggling too, especially the smaller ones, and it is worth remembering the knock on effect of your rental payments.  As tenants our rent is often covering mortgage payments, maintenance fees, taxes and salaries. Without that income a series of dominos could fall and prove costly for a wide variety of people. That is why it is so important to be balanced and measured in our actions. At EER we want to use our expertise in rent negotiation to find a solution that works for everyone.

How it works

EER will utilise our extensive network and expert consultants to assist you or your employees with rent negotiation and relief during this difficult time.  Tenants who are struggling can get in touch info@eerme.com and discuss their circumstances and goals.  Once we have your details we will contact your landlord and negotiate an appropriate form of relief depending on your situation.   Our aim is to secure you a rent reduction that will significantly ease your financial burdens for a period of time.  Existing and new clients can get in touch to find out how we can help.
