CRE Radio & TV Podcast
With so many businesses shuttered and federal financial relief delayed, employees, tenants, landlords and lenders are trying to work things out and survive until business gets back to usual. But for some, federal relief may come too late and negotiations may not work out as well as we all hope.

As businesses begin the process of reopening they are faced with a myriad of legal and operational issues that they have not previously encountered. Taking a cavalier approach to protecting your employees and the public from contracting the Coronavirus is not only morally wrong, it can lead to significant civil or criminal liability.

This is the recording of our April 2, 2020 webinar in which my panelists and I take a deep dive into commercial lease clauses and legal theories that may provide some tenant rent relief or otherwise obligate the landlord to make certain accommodations for the tenant.

In this ever changing world of the Coronavirus, one thing is certain, tenants are going to be seeking rent relief, whether they are legally entitled to it or not.

I've dipped into the archives for my 2018 interview with Adam Ifshin at the ICSC 2018 RECON Convention. This was really a personal interview between two men who already like and respect each other. We mix the personal with business, including how to incorporate family into business, creating a culture from the top down. For that, I want you to think of the book from Good to Great, what retail real estate will look like in 2038 and what the current trends are between now and 2038.

This is our first in our weekly series of live-streaming shows, focused on Opportunity Zones. Neal Bawa was our special guest. Neal talked about his, "The Five Perils of Opportunity Zones". It originally aired at 2:45, PM on August 27, 2019.
info_outlineMy research has confirmed that California Coronavirus eviction moratorium ordinances in the state of California differ by county and even by city within the same county.
Some cities and counties have imposed eviction moratoriums only on residential property and others on both commercial and residential. Sometimes, even when the moratorium covers both commercial and residential property, the type of property is handled differently.
In some places, the eviction moratorium imposes obligations on the tenant in order to receive the protection of the moratorium and in some places, the landlord is obligated to notify the tenant, in advance of the tenant's moratorium rights. It is confusing.
Compounding the confusion are separate court closures and orders not to issue summons in unlawful detainer matters or for the Sheriff not to do lockouts.
To top it all off, the orders and moratoriums are changing from week-to-week or even, day-to-day.
During this webinar, I will do the best I can to give you up to date eviction moratorium information in many of the California counties and cities and give practical advice on how to protect yourself, whether as a landlord, tenant or property manager.

Also note that during the webinar I was asked a question that I did not entirely answer accurately. The most correct answer to the question is that California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1951.4 requires reference to and suggests certain language of the code section to be included in the lease in order to sue for rents as the accrue.
