Our thanks and appreciation goes to Peter Stanhope & Meaghan Kells from BoyneClarke LLP on the seminar Commercial Lease and Contract Considerations.It was a great session and was able to address a lot of questions that will help navigate these uncertainties and provide some guidance to the restaurant sector.A couple of key points

• Open a dialogue with your landlord, good relations will yield better results
• All leases can be amended
• If you have a security deposit it may be able to address rent
• Look to the future to renegotiated a lease that’s creates stability for the landlord and at a price point that you can deliver
• Gross rent in the CECRA does include (common area maintenance & property taxes)
• CECRA is open till August 31 for landlords to apply
