Letter to Request Reduction and/or Postponement of Rental Payment due to Covid-19 or the Lockdown

Sign in to view example

Included in this Letter

Due to both Covid-19 and the national lockdown, it could be seen as against public policy for landlords to charge rent during the lockdown or whilst tenants cannot occupy their leased premises.

This letter is addressed from the lessee to the landlord requesting the following:

  • A reduction of rental payment amounts in respect of any number of specific months; and/or
  • The postponement of rental payments in respect of any number of specific months.

Once the terms of reduction and postponement are agreed in principle, we suggest that our Lease Addendum be utilised to generate a document recording the terms of reduction and/or postponement, in order that they may be signed by the parties and made binding on them.

How does it work?

When you start the questionnaire, you will be guided through the questions with the helping hand of explanations and additional information. Based on your answers, the letter will be tailor-made by our system. If you log in or create an account, you can also save the progress of the questionnaire and come back later.
