O Commercial<\/a> Rent (Coronavirus) Bill<\/a> (\u201cthe Bill\u201d)is anticipated to become law from 25 March 2022. This is the Government\u2019s solution to the estimated total of \u00a37.5 billion of commercial rent arrears<\/a> caused by COVID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data: 17 de mar\u00e7o de 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O Projeto de Lei sobre Rendas Comerciais (Coronav\u00edrus) (\u201co Projeto de Lei\u201d)<\/strong> is anticipated to become law from 25 March 2022. This is the Government\u2019s solution to the estimated total of \u00a37.5 billion of commercial rent arrears<\/a> caused by COVID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bill sets out a voluntary arbitragem<\/a> scheme, which allows for either a commercial Landlord<\/a> or Tenant to elect to have an independent arbitrator determine a dispute in respect of the Tenant\u2019s COVID-related rent arrears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bill applies only where the Tenant\u2019s rent arrears (including service charge, insurance, interest and VAT) accrued during the period of forced business<\/a> closures, which took place during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic, namely between the period of 21 March 2020 to 18 July 2021, and only where the Tenant\u2019s business is in a sector which was impacted by the pandemic i.e. hospitality & nightclubs, non-essential retail, garden centres, personal care including hairdressers, hotels<\/a> and tourist accommodation, port & leisure, theatres, cinemas & large event venues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Existe um processo de arbitragem em TR\u00caS FASES:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FASE UM \u2013 pr\u00e9-arbitragem<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

O senhorio ou o inquilino (\u201co Requerente\u201d)<\/strong> enviar uma notifica\u00e7\u00e3o \u00e0 outra parte (\u201co requerido\u201d)<\/strong>, advising of their intention<\/a> to refer the assunto<\/a> of the Tenant\u2019s rent arrears to an approved arbitration body;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O requerido disp\u00f5e de 14 dias para responder e, caso n\u00e3o o fa\u00e7a, o requerente pode submeter o caso a arbitragem ap\u00f3s o prazo de 28 dias, ou seja, o requerente envia uma notifica\u00e7\u00e3o por escrito a um \u00f3rg\u00e3o de arbitragem aprovado (O requerente deve pagar antecipadamente as taxas de arbitragem).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(c) both parties may then submit revised formal proposals accompanied by further supporting evidence<\/a> within 28 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O \u00e1rbitro deve ter em conta quaisquer propostas finais apresentadas pelas partes, em conformidade com a sec\u00e7\u00e3o 15 do projeto de lei, ao determinar a isen\u00e7\u00e3o de pagamento. O \u00e1rbitro deve determinar se uma ou ambas as propostas s\u00e3o compat\u00edveis com os princ\u00edpios do artigo 15.\u00ba. Se apenas uma proposta for compat\u00edvel com os princ\u00edpios do artigo 15.\u00ba, o \u00e1rbitro deve proferir uma senten\u00e7a nos termos dessa proposta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O artigo 15.\u00ba do projeto de lei estabelece que qualquer decis\u00e3o deve ter como objetivo preservar, ou restaurar e preservar, a viabilidade da atividade do arrendat\u00e1rio, na medida em que tal seja compat\u00edvel com a preserva\u00e7\u00e3o da solv\u00eancia do senhorio; e que o arrendat\u00e1rio deve ser obrigado a cumprir as suas obriga\u00e7\u00f5es, desde que tal n\u00e3o tenha impacto na preserva\u00e7\u00e3o ou na restaura\u00e7\u00e3o da viabilidade da atividade do arrendat\u00e1rio nem na solv\u00eancia do senhorio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FASE DOIS (requisitos de elegibilidade)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Arbitrator vontade<\/a> determine whether the dispute falls within the scope of the Bill i.e. the matter must:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(a) digam respeito a um contrato de arrendamento de um estabelecimento comercial afetado pela pandemia;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(b) dizerem respeito a uma d\u00edvida de renda protegida (ou seja, renda acumulada entre 21 de mar\u00e7o de 2020 e 18 de julho de 2021); e<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(c) not yet have been resolved by an agreement<\/a> between the parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TERCEIRA FASE (resolu\u00e7\u00e3o)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Arbitrator will consider the viability of the Tenant\u2019s business (evidence to demonstrate viability may include, but is not limited to, bank accounts, financial accounts, management accounts or profit forecasting), ensuring<\/a> the preservation of the Landlord\u2019s solvency, in determining whether to award relief from payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Os poderes de que o \u00e1rbitro disp\u00f5e incluem:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(a) reduzir o montante a pagar;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(b) prever o pagamento em presta\u00e7\u00f5es (m\u00e1x. 24 meses); ou<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(c) n\u00e3o conceder qualquer isen\u00e7\u00e3o de pagamento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caso haja uma audi\u00eancia oral, o \u00e1rbitro deve proferir a senten\u00e7a no prazo de 14 dias ap\u00f3s a conclus\u00e3o da audi\u00eancia; ou, caso n\u00e3o haja audi\u00eancia oral, o \u00e1rbitro deve proferir a senten\u00e7a logo que seja razoavelmente poss\u00edvel ap\u00f3s a rece\u00e7\u00e3o da \u00faltima proposta final. Prev\u00ea-se que a grande maioria dos processos n\u00e3o exija a realiza\u00e7\u00e3o de uma audi\u00eancia oral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are a landlord or a tenant, it is of vital importance<\/a> that your proposal to be submitted to the arbitrator is detailed, well supported with documentary evidence and tactical in that it is fully consistent with the principles of Section 15 of the Bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be seen that the Government have attempted to seek a balance between landlords being paid<\/a> what they are owed and not causing business tenants to become insolvent in circumstances where the tenants can show hardship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
