Pro-active tenants

Svetlana Vasilieva, head of secondary sales at Metropolitan Homes, said tenants who
experienced damage and were not too badly affected were contracting maintenance
companies for repairs.

“Who will pay for these repairs will be a negotiation between landlord and tenant unless
there are specific clauses that address the issues,” Vasilieva said, adding that providing
relief to the tenant in terms of free rental months will depend on the generosity of the
landlord and if they have insurance and the relationship with the tenant.
