In the event of rent arrears, you usually have to deal with collection agencies. You are requested to pay, otherwise legal proceedings will follow. Or you've already been subpoenaed. As a rule, the judge will dissolve a lease and grant eviction of the leased property if you owe more than two months' rent. However, there may be circumstances that do not justify dissolution of the lease and eviction of the leased property. See also the judgment of Rb. The Hague September 1, 2021, ECLI:N:LBDHA:2021:10298.

Rent pleasure and reign

The question of whether the corona crisis can lead to a rent reduction is a matter of great concern and has been discussed in numerous lawsuits with various judgments.

This matter is before the Supreme Court and – as is customary in these types of proceedings – the Prosecutor General has issued a preliminary advice to the Supreme Court on September 30, 2021.

In November 2021 the Italian Government adopted a plan (called PNRR) to cope with the economical downturn due to the Covid 19 infection and to make the best use of the “recovery” funds received by the EU.

Under the Plan, among many other measures,  the Public Administration has been authorized to recruit quite a large number of employees, to be hired with contracts for a limited period of time (up to 36 months, subject to be extended in case of need) to assist in the implementation of the PNRR.

The 51st Annual International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) U.S. Law Conference was held earlier this month in San Francisco from November 3 – 5, 2021. Chaired by our own David Rabinowitz, the event hosted more than 700 members of the retail industry, including counsel from outside law firms, in-house counsel, and paralegals to name a few.
