By Retail Insider

Hot on the heels of last week’s free Rent Relief in a Coronavirus World Webinar, CRE Radio & TV founder and host, Howard Kline is back, along with a panel of industry lawyers, to continue the conversation. 

On April 2nd, at 11:00 am Pacific/2:00pm Eastern, Kline and his co-hosts will negotiate and attempt to navigate the topic of lease clauses and legal theories that are applicable during an unprecedented pandemic. [Register Here]

Lease Clauses and Legal Theories Applicable in a Coronavirus World Webinar is once again free and will focus on taking a deeper dive into commercial lease clauses that may provide some tenant relief or otherwise obligate the landlord to make certain accommodations. Some of those clauses that will be discussed include:

1. Force Majeure

2. Eminent Domain

3. Condemnation

4. Quiet Use & Enjoyment

5. Legal concepts, including:

a) Impossibility of Performance

b) Impracticability of Performance or Frustration of Purposes

COVID-19 has called into question many aspects of contractual relationships between tenants and landlords. As both parties attempt to navigate their next steps, it is certain that there will be many grey areas as landlords seek to minimize exposure and insure the maximum revenue from their property, while tenants attempt to merely stay afloat.

Due to an outstanding registration and attendance for the first webinar, which broke all previous records, it is clear that people are anxious for some kind of guidance during this increasingly uncertain economic situation. 

Kline will be joined by other industry experts to discuss the pending issues. Guest speakers will be announced shortly.
