MANILA - SM Supermalls said Wednesday it would waive rent for its tenants nationwide from March 16 to April 14, with Luzon under lockdown to stop the COVID-19 pandemic.

The country's largest mall operator said this would offer tenants "some relief during this trying time, so that they can in turn lend more assistance to their employees during the period of Community Quarantine."

“We share our tenants partners’ concerns at the unfortunate situation and will waive rental charges for those affected and unable to operate during this period,” SM Supermalls President Steven Tan said in a statement.

Rent condonation is part of its commitment to fight the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak, SM said.
