The Rent Collector

Product Information

They will dismiss the reference where there is no “business tenancy”; no “protected rent debt” or if the parties have already reached agreement. It is in the interests of both landlords and tenants to enable otherwise viable businesses to continue operating following the end of COVID-related measures. As such, we encourage landlords and tenants to negotiate regardless of whether their rent debts fall within scope of the Act. If a party takes action precluded by the moratorium, then it would be for the forum in which such action is brought to decide that the measure is unavailable during the applicable period. Should a claim be brought for a remedy covered by the moratorium, on the basis that the claimant landlord considers the Act’s arbitration process to be inapplicable, the tenant may choose to make a reference to arbitration if they consider the Act does apply. The arbitration timetable may be paused or extended whilst the other claim is considered. Annex A: Timelines Landlords and tied pub tenants in England and Wales may be within scope of the Act and at the same time within scope of the Pubs Code: The Pubs Code etc. Regulations 2016. The Act does not affect the provisions of the Pubs Code. Stage 2: Arbitrator’s determination of eligibility (inc. viability of the tenant’s business) The Act requires the arbitrator to consider certain factors when assessing the viability of the tenant’s business (whether at Stage 2 or Stage 3). See paragraph 83 above.

Protected rent debt” is a debt for “unpaid rent” under a “business tenancy” (see above) which was “adversely affected by coronavirus,” and where that rent is “attributable to occupation during a “protected period””. Many landlords and tenants have already reached agreement on rental debts accrued during the pandemic and the government continues to encourage negotiation in respect of unresolved debts, as set out in the ‘Negotiation’ section of this Code. Where agreement cannot be reached the binding arbitration process provides a legal process for landlords and tenants, whose businesses are in scope (see section below entitled “Scope: how do I know if my dispute is eligible for arbitration?”), to have their case resolved by arbitration. Any award will be consistent with the principles set out in the Act, as detailed by this Code and consistent with the aims set out within the preceding sections. Further information on the process is set out below.
