The coronavirus has afflicted over seven million people in the United States and has caused over 200,000 deaths in our country. The disease has fundamentally altered our lifestyles, working conditions and our consumer-driven economy. It has devastated certain retailers, crippled others and, as a consequence, caused landlords and tenants to re-think (and, in many cases to renegotiate) their short-term and long-term contractual relationships. This article seeks to examine key current issues, and offers practical advice to landlords and tenants seeking common ground to address the ongoing financial toll of the pandemic, and suggests approaches that should be considered when drafting and negotiating lease provisions such as force majeure, early termination rights and co-tenancy obligations.
