Coronavirus: New measures to support tenants

The Covid-19 pandemic has led to the adoption of a set of exceptional and temporary measures to prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and to the introduction of various forms of support intended to mitigate the economic impact of this situation.

In particular, the following legislation has been approved in the real estate sector:

• Law 1-A/2020 of 19 March (successively amended), which established, among others, a temporary suspension of the effects of termination of tenancy/lease agreements;

• Law 4-C/2020 of 6 April (successively amended), which established exceptional rules for situations of late payment of rent and remuneration due under lease agreements and other forms of agreements for commercial operation of real estate.
