Responding to COVID-19 Webinar Series - Part VIII: Reopening Connecticut:  What Commercial Landlords and Tenants Should Know Now and in the Months Ahead

As Connecticut begins the process of reopening this week, commercial landlords and tenants alike face a range of questions about getting safely back to work.  At the same time, many are continuing to grapple with how best to work together at a time when all are under financial stress; navigate the host of governmental initiatives that offer some relief; and understand the “new normal” of what the future may hold for the real estate market.  In this webinar, attorneys from our Real Estate, Municipal Law, and Property Tax and Valuation practices addressed:

• Zoning and other legal issues relating to the opening of outdoor restaurants
• Post-pandemic landlord liability issues
• The changing workplace and its impact on commercial leases
• How the tax relief programs work as laid out in Governor Lamont’s executive orders
• Potential impact of crisis on current and future property values
• Outlook for 2020 revaluations
• Potential impact of New York exodus on the Connecticut real estate market
