When restrictions on landlords’ remedies for the recovery of rent arrears are finally lifted, very many tenants will face serious problems, particularly in the retail and hospitality sectors. Landlords have, in the main, been prepared to agree rent concessions up to now, and whether they will continue to support tenants’ businesses may largely come down to negotiating positions.
Whether
there are former tenants or guarantors to pursue may be one important factor;
others may be re-letting prospects, remaining length of term, and the likely
outcome of any insolvency process. Tenants
need to be aware of the potential bargaining chips, but also have a clear-eyed understanding
of what happens if no arrangement can be agreed with the landlord.

Programme
This webinar examines the issues, including:
- Is it only the landlord that must be dealt with, or does the tenant also need to engage former tenants, sub-tenants, etc?
- Is there any route to early lease termination?
- Can insolvency supply a solution?
- What will be the likely impact of restrictions on remedies being lifted?
- What can tenants offer landlords to sweeten a deal?
