In this webinar, our expert, attorney David Campbell Smith, will answer these and other important questions for nonprofit commercial tenants:

• What do you do if you can’t pay your rent?
• What do you do if your lease ends during the pandemic and you don’t want to vacate the premises?
• What documentation should you collect to be able to show that you had legitimate financial challenges limiting your ability to pay full rent?
• What are some examples of tenant protections under state and local ordinances? How can you find out about or advocate for local protections?

Quick tip from our expert that you can implement now:
If you have your monthly rent payment on automatic payment for the full amount, you may want to cancel automatic full payments and change to manual payments so you have the flexibility each month to adjust payments based on changing regulations and circumstances.
