COVID Conversations
Commercial Leases – advice on rent forgiveness or deferral

Katherine has spent over a decade immersed in the world of Real Estate and Corporate legal administration. When the commute became too much in 2017, she decided to launch her own consulting firm, Jensen Consulting, and now offers her expertise as a consultant to help landlords and tenants across north America with drafting and auditing their Commercial Leases. Currently Jensen Consulting’s client portfolio includes national brands such as Barburrito, Chopped Leaf, Crock a Doodle, as well as a variety of local tenants and smaller Landlords.

This past month we’ve been discussing a variety of rental reductions, deferrals and abatements for different Tenants who have been struggling amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Some of the Landlords we’ve had success with include First Capital, RioCan, Fieldgate, Smart Centres as well as a few independent smaller Landlords.  During this session I will be talking about the different lease sections that you should review and what are some reasonable requests to make to the Landlords.
