As restrictions on landlords’ remedies are lifted, and commercial tenants have to deal with the mountain of arrears which has built up through the Covid-19 pandemic, landlords will inevitably be looking at forfeiture in many cases. It may be seen as the opportunity to remove the awkward tenant, or it may be the most effective sanction to enforce performance of tenant’s obligations. Either way, to get the best out of this remedy you need to be aware of the pitfalls and practicalities.
