Donna Ashton and Ted Papadopoulos, both of Ashton Law, PC, will present: Our panelists will review the past year, including the temporary moratorium, changes to non-payment eviction actions, local/municipal orders, and the obligations of each party during the COVID period. The differences between commercial and residential rentals will also be discussed, along with what the current court process looks like as landlords begin to rebuild and recover, and tenants work to meet the responsibilities under their rental agreements. Predicting the future is certainly difficult, but our panel will discuss the possibility of new statutes and regulations to protect landlords and/or tenants, including those relating to health and sanitary expectations, reserve rents requirements, revisions to written rental agreements, and provisions for future pandemics and other states of emergencies.
