The impact of the Coronavirus pandemic has disrupted virtually all facets of life in New York City, including the substantive and procedural type of laws , with regards to commercial eviction cases.
Frequent legal dispute causes.
No set of laws lives in a vacuum. By this, it can mean that to decipher what legal framework to apply on a certain case fact pattern, one may have to look at how said set of laws may interact with other sets of laws which maybe complimentary, contradictory and/or both. One thing to keep in mind, with regards to commercial leases, is that much of the finalized commercial lease agreements end-product document is very often the result of the differences in the bargaining powers among the different contracting parties. As far the preceding assertion goes, it may be safe to deduce any legal landscape changes brought about by Covid 19, may have both caused and be caused by changes, in the ever tense landlord-tenant relationship.
Food for thought.
Out of the myriad of ways, which Covid 19 has caused legal disruptions on commercial landlord-tenant controversies/litigation/disputes, perhaps the more significant one maybe a moratorium on legal commencement actions for NYC commercial housing court eviction case proceedings, that was issued by Governor Cuomo. Initially, such moratorium was set to expire on or about January 31st, 2021. As of the time of this writing, it may appear that this moratorium and/or amendments/extensions to it (if any) are either coming to an end and/or may have already ended in some cases.
Note: Our law firm is closely been monitoring how the just realized CDC type of guidelines-triggering regulations may come into play, as far as, landlord-tenant laws are concerned with regards to commercial tenancies.
