What is the document?
The Covid-19 Variation of Lease Deed is a document to vary a lease to set out an agreement reached between a landlord and tenant due to the circumstances of COVID-19 and taking into account the COVID-19 Omnibus (Emergency Measures) (Commercial Leases and Licences) Regulations 2020. This document can address agreements which include:
- rent waivers for a particular amount of rent waived per month;
- rent deferral for a particular amount of rent deferred per month;
- extensions of lease terms where the lease is being extended by a fixed period to allow a tenant further time to pay rent which is deferred;
- having the agreement for rent waiver/deferral last a particular period;
- setting a particular period to have any rent deferral paid;
- multiple tenants, multiple landlords and multiple guarantors;
- waiving the requirement to pay all or a percentage of outgoings for a fixed period (but not a waiver of particular outgoings only);
- a clause including the tenant pay the landlord’s costs, each party bearing their own costs or each party paying 50% of the costs of the Deed;
- guarantors consenting to the variation.

General variations to the lease other than for rent relief due to COVID-19 or dealing with separate licence agreements, car parking or storage licence fees as these cannot be incorporated into this chatbot. This document will not deal with a partial waiver of certain outgoings.
