Product Description

Both Chapter 7 and Chapter 11 bankruptcies alter rights for landlords and tenants. Understanding which lease provisions are affected is critical to managing lease obligations in bankruptcy, including landlords’ rights to enforcement of lease restrictions and the ability collect rents. Tenants can utilize the Bankruptcy Code’s relief provisions to assume or reject a lease, limit breach and termination claims, and overcome anti-assignment provisions.
