Since March 2020, landlords have had no effective remedy for the recovery of rent arrears, with forfeiture, CRAR and insolvency proceedings all put on ice. That fact, together with recognition of the seriousness of the economic issues facing the country, and Code guidance from the government, have led landlords to agree concessions of various sorts with their tenants. But all the temporary restrictions on remedies are time-limited to 30 September 2020.

 

Some tenants, particularly in the leisure and food and beverage sectors, are lobbying government for further extension of the deadline, fearful of a 1 October cliff-edge. Landlords, meanwhile, complain of tenants using the restrictions to avoid paying even though they are able to do so. It is apparent that both landlords and tenants need to have strategies for the ending of these protections. This one-hour seminar explores the options.
