On March 27, 2020, Claudia Sheinbaum, head of government of Mexico City, asked landlords to postpone the rent of tenants with lower incomes. “Es el llamado a la solidaridad con personas que tienen menores ingresos,” she said, a call for solidarity with people who have lower incomes. She compared the request with the banks, which had postponed payments by four months.
The request had no legal force.
