COVID-19: Protection from eviction for commercial tenants

COVID-19: Protection from eviction for commercial tenants

April Foster

The Government have confirmed that commercial tenants who can not pay their rent because of COVID-19 will be protected from eviction.
 
No business will automatically forfeit their lease and be forced out of their premises if they miss a payment up until 30 June 2020.
 
The Government may extend this period if they deem necessary.
 
Please note this is not a rental holiday and you will still be liable for the rent.  This measure will ensure you are protected from eviction if you are unable to pay your rent.
 
No action is required.
