To ease financial hardship faced by some tenants and landlords as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Victorian Government has introduced the Commercial Tenancy Relief Scheme (the Scheme).
The Regulations for the Scheme have been made under the COVID-19 Omnibus (Emergency Measures) Act 2020. Under the Scheme, the Victorian Small Business Commission (VSBC) is providing commercial tenants and landlords with access to free mediation to support fair tenancy negotiations.
An informative session to bring you up to date on how the Victorian Small Business Commission can help landlords and tenants with rent relief negotiations during the COVID-19 restrictions in Victoria;
• Commercial Tenancy Relief Scheme, how it applies to your tenancy
• Free mediation service offered by the Victorian Small Business Commission
• Resources to support your mental health through this time
