Distressed Leases, Landlords and Tenants
Wilmer Hale Cutler Pickering and Dorr LLP 60 State Street, 26th Floor, Boston Registration 7:45 a.m.; Program 8:00 – 9:15 a.m. It’s 2009, and the calls are coming in .. “my tenant has laid everyone off and I’m worried they’re going to shut down” . . . “they haven’t paid rent in 30 days and they just offered me the keys.” Or, from the other side, “We have a huge lease obligation that we can’t support anymore. What do we do?”. In this Fundamentals session, you will learn what happens when a tenant fails – a primer on lease defaults, available remedies, commercial summary process actions, and the basics of termination agreements. The session will also highlight what to expect after a tenant bankruptcy, and its impact on the landlord and its lender, including lease rejection or assumption and assignment, the fate of damage claims and treatment of security deposits.
