Kuwait City : In a landmark ruling that could have wide implications, the Court of Appeals considering rents of idle nurseries, reduced the monthly rents of these leased properties by three-quarters.Tenants of nurseries, who had not been paying their monthly rents and had also refused to vacate their leased government properties, had appealed to the court to find a solution to their predicament.In their petition, the nursery tenants had cited that curfews, lockdowns and other measures introduced by the government to prevent the spread of coronavirus infection, had prevented their normal business operations. They claimed that under such circumstances, it was illogical for the government to claim rents for the period when they had also not permitted business operations.The new ruling has now set a precedent and opens the door for owners of various other businesses affected by the government-imposed closure to claim similar relief from the courts.
