The persistence of a “subdued trend” for commercial real estate and the continued “extremely challenging” trading conditions for many retail and hospitality tenants, mean many landlords are faced with a real dilemma when faced with tenant default. This practical session will look at the various options open to a landlord, concentrating on what makes most sense in the current market.
- Self-help remedies v court remedies: making the choice
- Forfeiture – sometimes the only sensible option: avoiding the pitfalls, recovering costs and handling new lettings and applications for relief from forfeiture: Hush Brasseries; Kaushal v O’Connor; Khan v Tower Hamlets LBC; Cumbria Zoo; Chug v Dhaliwal
- Guarantors: a checklist for certainty
- Closed retail premises: an unresolvable problem?
- Why ensuring lease compliance can be essential for landlords: lessons from T&M Property Management
