COVID-19 and commercial forfeiture: A further update (Part 2)

Following on from our previous blog published on 4 May 2020 , the Government has acted further to protect commercial tenants, as follows:

1.            the moratorium in relation to forfeiture (i.e. the bringing of a lease to an end) by peaceable re-entry has now been extended to 30 September 2020; and

2.            the use of CRAC has now been restricted until there is 189 days or more of unpaid rent
