The COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) Act – A balanced piece
of legislation?
At first glance and with a lack of clarity on its actual
workings at the time the Act was urgently passed, the relief
measures relating to commercial leases seemed to be lop-sided in
favour of the tenants. But reading on carefully and with the
gradual gazetting of its actual workings, one thing becomes
clear. There is no doubt that these measures were put in place to
help tenants of commercial leases cope with the economic fallout
from COVID-19. But landlords have the right to challenge the
tenant's notification for relief if it is not caused by
Covid-19 event, and are not precluded from exercising their rights
in the appropriate situations.
