As a result of the emergency legislation introduced in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, landlords have spent much of the past year with one hand tied behind their backs when faced with the breach of tenant obligations in leases. However, the moratorium on numerous enforcement actions will (eventually) expire, and landlords will then have the full range of options available to them once again. This session will cover the methods of enforcement and remedies available, looked at from the perspective of both landlord and tenants, including:

• Forfeiture
• The recovery of arrears, whether through CRAR or debt claims
• The position of guarantors, former tenants and undertenants
• Rent deposits
• Damages claims and other tenant remedies
• Alternative dispute resolution (including the new RICS independent evaluation service)
