Perhaps the most common, the most urgent, and the most expensive problem commercial landlords and tenants are facing as a result of the coronavirus is the lease that binds them. Tenants in most industries are facing unprecedented and unanticipated economic hardship and uncertainty, fighting for the very existence of their business. Landlords, who are facing a wave of unprecedented and unanticipated rent defaults, economic hardship and uncertainty, are still obligated to pay their mortgage and building expenses and are not in a position to become effectively a lender to their delinquent tenants.
The table has been set for inevitable disputes to somehow resolve the parties' respective challenges. If you are a commercial landlord or tenant, this is likely your most urgent challenge right now.
Lerman Law Partners, LLP real estate litigation and transaction attorneys Jeff Lerman, Phil Diamond (who is also a mediator) and Dan Dersham will present the latest updates regarding the impact of COVID-19 on commercial leases and evictions, from both the landlord and tenant perspective.

6. Updates on California, San Francisco and Marin COVID-19 Emergency Orders and Ordinances impacting commercial leases.
