- Dear KRE Group/225 Grand Management,
Covid-19 has devastated the American economy and many residents of 225 Grand have either lost their income or had it substantially reduced, as of which we have a lack of clarity on our future employment, now that the economic impact trickles down to white-collar jobs and others. Some of us have been asked to take pay cuts while others are expecting the same or even worse like layoffs at organizations we work for. There are also some startups, small enterprises and entrepreneurs in our 225 community which are also severely impacted financially. We all know that we are embracing for a prolonged recessionary environment through 2020 and needless to say that it will impact everyone financially.
Meanwhile, the US Government has passed an economic stimulus package that will benefit businesses like KRE but most residents at 225 Grand will see little or no benefit. Moreover, Covid-19 has caused many of the amenity spaces to be closed.
As residents, we fully support the staff who work 24x7 here in ensuring 225 grand is safe and secure. We as residents also want to ensure that their livelihood is not impacted. Similarly, we would also expect KRE management to support the 225 tenants in these times by some kind of financial gesture towards its monthly rent.
Accordingly, we the undersigned renters at 225 Grand Street hereby request that KRE reduce our rent payment by 20% for the months of April and May.

Completely support the petition. Been with KRE for 3 years and this is valuable for everyone involved.
I agree! I'm a freelancer who's already lost income. Additionally, we have no access to ammenities. While I agree with the need to shut them down, it does lessen the value for what we're paying for these months. Also, KRE is a big group who probably can afford to cut us some slack.
We are facing very difficult times , We cannot even travel back home kindly give us discount and grace period.
Couple builds here. Regarding amenities, I personally feel this is a separate conversation from rent reduction. Management should compensate us for time lost with access to amenities, either in the form of a credit or straight up reimbursement. This should be addressed once we understand how long the amenities will be closed for. Rent reduction is a whole separate beast. The stimulus package will have little impact on rent given the amount of money we're expected to receive in comparison to the amount of time some people are out of work and still required to pay rent. Net net, I do feel the line in this petition about the amenities should be removed as opposed to a tack on to the rent reduction, but both are very real concerns that management needs to address.
Thank you for signing the petition. It would be unrealistic to get proof of income loss, which would require tax filings that would not be filed for a year and we would not feel comfortable asking for such personal information. Moreover, the economic impact is so widespread that, unfortunately, I am sure that the great majority of residents have suffered economic loss.
Rent reduction would provide much needed relief in these challenging times.
I understand that the amenities needed to be shut down for safety, but it seems only fair that we not pay for something we can't use. It would also be a huge show of charity and understanding for Kushner Real Estate to say it's willing to help its residents in their greatest time of need. It seems that everyone could benefit by a cost reduction.

It sure would be appreciated. I have two family members who I am having to help support during this difficult time, so a little breathing room would be nice. It would also benefit KRE by helping to retain long time tenants who are reliable.
