Your tenant calls in the administrators: a survival guide for landlords

The team at Gadens examines the risks facing commercial landlords when tenants enter voluntary administration, including restrictions on terminating leases and recovering possession, the five-business-day window before administrators become personally liable for rent, the treatment of rent accruing during extended liability standstill periods and the importance of reviewing security arrangements, while outlining how landlords can protect their claims, exercise leverage in DOCA negotiations and minimise losses by acting early.
