The restrictions implemented by governments in response to COVID-19 have left the property industry - and society at large - in uncharted territory.

One of the areas presenting the greatest uncertainty is the dynamic and ever-changing relationship between landlords and tenants.

With the Prime Minister’s latest advice to ‘sit down and sort it out,’ there is clear instruction to negotiate, rather than expect government intervention (at this stage anyway!)

So what are your rights - as a landlord or a tenant? How do these rights differ between Commonwealth legislation and State-based laws? How do they differ between commercial real estate and residential property? How will a six-month moratorium on tenant evictions and the JobKeeper wage subsidy shift the balance of power?

In this expert webinar series, McCullough Robertson partner Kristan Conlon will unpack the current state of play in TWO separate webinars:

(A) commercial property;
(B) residential property.

Each webinar will explore:

An outline of the Commonwealth position;
An outline of the position of each Australian jurisdiction and notable differences across each jurisdiction;
The commercial position of landlords and examples across various asset classes (including range of requests);
The commercial position of tenants across various asset classes;
Examples of current responses of landlords across various asset classes;
The current and anticipated response of banks;
Other options available to ease pressure on landlords and tenants;
Strategies to ensure any variations are legally binding without unnecessary expense and red tape.

The webinar will be hosted by Adam Di Marco, founder and CEO of The Urban Developer.

Attendees will be able to submit questions prior to and during the webinar, and will receive a downloadable summary document at the conclusion of the webinar.
