OBA Real Property Law PROGRAM | Original Program Date: June 23, 2020

On June 17, 2020 the Ontario Government passed Bill 192, Protecting Small Business Act, 2020 available here. Bill 192 amends the Commercial Tenancies Act to prohibit certain actions by landlords if the landlord is or would be eligible to receive assistance from the Canada Emergency Commercial Rent Assistance (CECRA) for small businesses program and has not applied to receive the assistance. 

Join our expert faculty by webcast on June 23rd to walk through:

• What rights and obligations this legislation creates for tenants and landlords
• What ambiguities arise as a result of the legislation
• How this legislation affects landlords’ and tenants’ pre-existing rights under their leases and the Commercial Tenancies Act
• The implications of this legislation to landlords and tenants who have proceeded by way of deferral or abatement agreements in lieu of participating in CECRA
• The legislation's impact on existing and prospective default proceedings
• The impact of the legislation on a landlord if they have already exercised their rights under the Commercial Tenancies Act
   

If your client is a landlord or a tenant, then you won’t want to miss this insightful discussion of how Bill 192 will likely impact their rights, obligations, remedies and relationships.
