Russ, a tenant has every right to ask for a reduction in their rent. A smart landlord would be wise to educe their rentals during the recession / depression in order to keep a tenant at all. A lot of property owners, though, are only looking at the short term and not the long term. I just asked my landlord for a reduction this summer. My landlord, who owns his property free and clear, refused to give me a break, so I moved my business to a cheaper location down the street. If my original landlord had been smarter, he would have lowered my rent the small amount I asked for, instead of losing my rent altogether. BTW, in a lot of businesses, people are asking for discounts on all sorts of things you wouldn't expect it on.
