COVID 19 - Exceptional regime for late payment situations of rents - Law No. 4-C / 2020
Following the declaration of the state of emergency due to the pandemic of the disease COVID -19, Law No. 4-C / 2020 was published yesterday in Diário da República, which establishes an exceptional regime for late payment situations of rents due under the terms of urban lease agreements, with the aim of protecting families and commercial establishments from the serious consequences that could arise from such late payment, namely the eviction and the payment of compensation. Although Law No. 4-C / 2020 came into force today, it can already be applied to rents due from April 1st.
