The UK government has extended measures to prevent struggling companies from eviction over the summer.
The extension, until the end of September, comes alongside further support to help local businesses plan for economic recovery following the Coronavirus pandemic.
The suspension of the forfeiture of evictions will come as a relief in particular to pubs, cafes and restaurants, after the hospitality sector called upon the government for action in this area.
A new code of practice has also been developed with leaders from the retail, hospitality and property sectors to provide clarity for businesses when discussing rental payments and to encourage best practice so that all parties are supported.
The code is voluntary for businesses and is relevant to all commercial leases held by businesses in any sector which have been impacted by the Coronavirus pandemic.
