It is not known on what grounds, especially at this time, in Sevastopol, from June 1, they raised the rent for places in the markets by 33%.
Chairman Valentina Matvienko stated this at a meeting of the Federation Council today, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The state unitary enterprise managing the Wholesale and Retail Trade Complexes of Sevastopol decided to increase the rental price of retail spaces in the markets by 1% from June 33. What are the reasons? What is it, import substitution is needed? Is there a dollar component there? Such a difficult time, let's create conditions for small and medium-sized businesses. Well, that's definitely not the time to raise the rent!
Restaurateurs are also asking, due to the reduction in clients, to extend the support measure for this season in the form of exemption from fees for placing summer terraces. Well, the region’s budget will not get much richer from this. But the summer veranda is in Sevastopol, on the seashore. Well, give me the opportunity not to go bankrupt!
Mikhail Vladimirovich (Governor of Sevastopol Mikhail Razvazhaev - ed.), look at it personally and make a decision. This is not the time to accept such additional burdens for small and medium-sized businesses,” Matvienko ordered.
