<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 1862854, member: 37&quot;]Most of us in the shop have yearly leases.&nbsp; A few are on 6 mo. trials.&nbsp; I think mine is up the end of June.&nbsp; The store&#039;s lease is up in July 2021 and we are not sure about renewing.&nbsp; The owner is negotiating a stop, with the missing months extended on to the end of the lease.&nbsp; He would ask that we do the same to our leases.&nbsp; Seems fair to me. </p><p><br /></p><p>Most vendors are sole proprietors, as am I.&nbsp; I would be able to pay to the end of my lease if necessary.&nbsp; I am lucky in that I have no other periodic obligations besides utilities. I know several of the dealers would be financially unable to pay out their leases.&nbsp; This is true for a lot of people&#039;s rental and mortgage payments.&nbsp; This is such a huge issue for so many people that I think it needs to be addressed at the legislative level. </p><p><br /></p><p>I believe in the recent bill passed, there is a provision for the self employed to be eligible for unemployment.&nbsp; This would help me considerably.&nbsp; However, there are many antique dealers who don&#039;t claim their income.&nbsp; This would come back to bite them and they would be out of luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
