REITs and Business Trusts have to defer rental payments to help out the tenants and this will cause them to terminate or reduce their dividend payouts as their cash flows are being affected.

If the tenants close their businesses, the vacancy rates will spike up and the banks will re-evaluate their credit risks which will ensue in loan recalls and top-ups.  Many retailers are defaulting on their rental payments illegally because of covid-19 outbreaks now.
