If the business was closed due to COVID-19, the lease must be reduced by half

  • 13/06/2022

The Court of Milan, section XIII, with ruling of 6 April 2022, n. 3020, on commercial leases and COVID - 19, condemned a restaurateur to pay rents and overdue condominium expenses, reducing the amounts by 50%, in light of the decrease of utility of commercial spaces during the lockdown. The Judge, in fact, noted that, due to objective circumstances not attributable to the contractual parties, the lease contract had remained partially breached by the owner, who had not been able for several months (from 1 April 2020 to 11 October 2021) to allow to the restaurateur the agreed use.
