Covid-19 And The Rise In Commercial Real Estate Bankruptcies: The Path To Reach The Goals Of Bankruptcy Code §365(D)(3), Jefferey Kirwin
Covid-19 And The Rise In Commercial Real Estate Bankruptcies: The Path To Reach The Goals Of Bankruptcy Code §365(D)(3), Jefferey Kirwin
The Journal of Business, Entrepreneurship & the Law
This article will explore and explain the two approaches circuit courts use when § 365(d)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code is at issue and will analyze the best approach in the context of COVID-related increase in commercial tenants’ bankruptcy claims. Specifically, this article will analyze how each approach affects the parties by explaining which party is protected at the different stages, and will explain what and when a tenant must pay a landlord. This article will then describe options each party could pursue at different stages in the bankruptcy and outline how each option affects the payment to the landlord. Lastly, …
Ashamed, Judged, And Unsafe: A Qualitative Study Of Tenant Justice Perceptions To Inform The Redesign Of Housing Court, Daniel W. Bernal
Ashamed, Judged, And Unsafe: A Qualitative Study Of Tenant Justice Perceptions To Inform The Redesign Of Housing Court, Daniel W. Bernal
New Mexico Law Review
Scholars have long suspected that tenants were skeptical of housing court, but prior studies—relying principally on surveys— have not borne that out. This qualitative empirical study draws from in-depth interviews and finds, in contrast to these previous studies, that tenants find the housing court process anything but fair, and describe a startling disconnect between their reasons for court attendance and their experiences of the hearings. Such negative justice perceptions may affect participation in housing court, compliance with judgments, and overall confidence in the judicial process. This Article suggests several legal and policy reforms to better align the housing court experience …

Wisconsin's 2011 Act 108, Legislative Inaction, And Severe Racial Disparity: A Recipe For A Fair Housing Violation, Taylor N. Haefele
Marquette Benefits and Social Welfare Law Review
When individuals are released from prison, the biggest predictor of whether they will reoffend or successfully reenter society is whether the recently released individual has access to stable housing. Unfortunately, nearly every avenue to housing requires passing a criminal background check. Recognizing this as posing a nearly insurmountable barrier to accessing stable housing upon release from prison, Seattle, Washington; Minneapolis, Minnesota; and San Francisco, California have all enacted ordinances regulating the use of background checks to help ensure access to stable housing for formerly incarcerated individuals. Madison, Wisconsin, and other Wisconsin cities had similar ordinances that regulated the use of …
Going, Going, Gone: Takings Clause Challenges To The Cdc’S Eviction Moratorium, Meredith Bradshaw
Going, Going, Gone: Takings Clause Challenges To The Cdc’S Eviction Moratorium, Meredith Bradshaw
Georgia Law Review
In September 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Department of Health and Human Services issued a residential eviction moratorium to prevent the further spread of COVID- 19. One year later, the U.S. Supreme Court terminated the moratorium. During the year that the moratorium was in effect, landlords across the country filed lawsuits against the CDC because they were unable to evict tenants who did not satisfy their rental obligations. Because the moratorium allowed tenants to remain on the property without paying rent, some landlords argued that the regulation effected …
Direct Lawsuit Against The Subtenant - الدعوى المباشرة للمؤجر الأصلي ضد المستأجر من الباطن, Dr. Mohammed Bendari
Direct Lawsuit Against The Subtenant - الدعوى المباشرة للمؤجر الأصلي ضد المستأجر من الباطن, Dr. Mohammed Bendari
UAEU Law Journal
Direct lawsuit filed from the Landlord (Original renter) against the subtenant contains a departure from the general rules of civil law on both the principle of equality before the law of ordinary creditors about their general liability and the principle of the ratio of contract consequences. This departure is justified on the basis of justice since direct lawsuit is an easy way for the renter to get the rent dues.
Scholars had various disputes and point of views on the nature of this lawsuit due to their desire to relate it to one of the known legal systems under civil …
Screened Out Of Housing: The Impact Of Misleading Tenant Screening Reports And The Potential For Criminal Expungement As A Model For Effectively Sealing Evictions, Katelyn Polk
Northwestern Journal of Law & Social Policy
Having an eviction record “blacklists” tenants from finding future housing. Even renters with mere eviction filings—not eviction orders—on their records face the harsh collateral consequences of eviction. This Note argues that eviction records should be sealed at filing and only released into the public record if a landlord prevails in court. Juvenile record expungement mechanisms in Illinois serve as a model for one way to protect people with eviction records. Recent updates to the Illinois juvenile expungement process provided for the automatic expungement of certain records and strengthened the confidentiality protections of juvenile records. Illinois protects juvenile records because it …
Hb 346 - Tenant Retaliation Protection, Joseph N. Guardino, Megan A. Kirk
Hb 346 - Tenant Retaliation Protection, Joseph N. Guardino, Megan A. Kirk
Georgia State University Law Review
The Act prohibits landlords from taking retaliatory action when tenants exercise their rights or express habitability concerns. The Act provides for several authorized tenant actions that notify and hold landlords responsible for fixable property defects. If the landlord attempts to deprive the tenant of the use or enjoyment of the premises because the tenant expressed habitability concerns, the Act finds a prima facie case of retaliation. The Act specifically protects landlord action when a tenant damages property or is delinquent in rent. The Act provides for civil penalties against landlords who have retaliated under the statute.

David V. Goliath: How The Replacement Of A Commercial Real Estate Agent's Common Law Duty Of Undivided Loyalty With Washington State's More-Limited Statutory Obligations Advantages Landlords To The Detriment Of Commercial Tenants, Peter Smirniotopoulos, Ryan Mathisen
Seattle University Law Review
As the fastest-growing urban area in the United States—and due to its emerging national influence in commercial real estate development and leasing through transformational transactions such as Amazon’s recently completed national HQ2 search—the City of Seattle and related Washington State laws addressing the use of dual agency in commercial transactions present a unique backdrop for examining the findings and recommendations from a 2014 commercial real estate conflicts of interest research study and attendant report, described below, more than four years after its publication. In November 2014, a published research study report made a number of key observations about the existence …
Commercial-Property Leases As A Means For Private Environmental Governance, Darren A. Prum
Commercial-Property Leases As A Means For Private Environmental Governance, Darren A. Prum
Georgia State University Law Review
Commercial-property leases as a means for private environmental governance routinely get overlooked despite their noticeable presence. The applicable theoretical models used in environmental law and the standards that typically measure legal activity fail to detect the commercial-property lease as a regulatory action as well. Moreover, the public and positive law and policy approach of the past that heavily relied on administrative authority now follows more of a private law and governance approach. The private law and governance approach responds to the marketplace where standards are set, enforcement occurs, and dispute resolution takes place between parties involved in the transaction outside …

Maryland's Medical Marijuana Law: Transactional And Ethical Perspectives For Real Estate Practitioners, Nicole M. Lacoste Folks, Lawrence F. Haislip, Matthew L. Kimball
University of Baltimore Journal of Land and Development
The congruence between Federal and state laws relating to marijuana, 2 which has existed for generations, is unraveling. In recent years a number of states have reduced or eliminated criminal penalties for the possession or use of small amounts of marijuana;3 twentythree states have established a state law exception for medical marijuana; 4 and Colorado, Washington, Alaska and Oregon now authorize the retail and personal growth, sale and possession of marijuana as a matter of state law.5 Maryland has lately joined the list of states purporting to create exceptions or safe harbors for those wishing to engage in the manufacture, …
Colder Than A Landlord's Heart? Reconciling A Debtor's Authority To Sell Property Free And Clear Of A Lease Under Bankruptcy Code Section 363(F) With The Tenant's Right To Remain In Possession On A Lease Rejection Under Bankruptcy Code Section 365(H), Bruce Grohsgal
Marquette Law Review
The question examined in this Article is a simple one—Can a tenant with a right to possession under section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code be ousted from possession by a free and clear sale of the real property by the debtor-landlord pursuant to section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code? The Seventh Circuit, the only court of appeals to have considered the issue, said “yes” in Precision Industries, Inc. v. Qualitech Steel SBQ, LLC and authorized a sale free and clear of the lease and the tenant’s right to remain in possession. Subsequent decisions from the district and bankruptcy courts are …
The Landlord's Liability To His Tenants For Injuries Criminally Inflicted By Third Persons, Marvin M. Moore
The Landlord's Liability To His Tenants For Injuries Criminally Inflicted By Third Persons, Marvin M. Moore
Akron Law Review
Until approximately fifteen years ago a landlord was never held civilly liable to his tenants for injuries inflicted by the criminal acts of third persons, regardless of the deficiency of the security measures provided by the landlord.' The landlord was protected from tenant lawsuits by three factors: The historical concept of a lease, certain tort theories of a legalistic nature, and some policy concerns having significant influence upon the courts. In recent years the courts have begun holding landlords liable in some circumstances for criminally-induced injuries sustained by their tenants. The following discussion will examine the reasons for the landlord's …

Mi Casa Es Su Casa: The Benefits Of A Hud Mediation Program For Resolving Housing Accommodation Or Modification Disputes Between Landlords And Tenants With Disabilities, Adam Knobler
Pepperdine Law Review
After first providing a background on federal housing laws that prohibit discrimination based on disability, this article then proceeds to describe and analyze the remedies available to tenants who have experienced disability discrimination. The article concludes that, not only are such remedies as filing a complaint or pursuing litigation difficult and time-consuming, they could also damage the long-term relationship between the parties and preclude the possibility of creative remedies that satisfy the needs of both parties. The article finishes by proposing that HUD develop an agency-wide mediation program based on the model of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) mediation …

Using Disparate Impact Analysis In Fair Housing Act Claims: Landlord Withdrawal From The Section 8 Voucher Program, Rebecca Tracy Rotem
Using Disparate Impact Analysis In Fair Housing Act Claims: Landlord Withdrawal From The Section 8 Voucher Program, Rebecca Tracy Rotem
Fordham Law Review
The Fair Housing Act (FHA) outlaws discrimination in housing based on race, color, religion, national origin, and sex. A plaintiff can win an FHA claim using a disparate impact theory by showing that the defendant’s actions had a disproportionately adverse impact on a protected class. This Note will address a circuit court split on whether a landlord can be held liable for discrimination under the FHA for withdrawing from the Section 8 voucher program. Section 8 is a government program that provides low-income citizens with vouchers to pay a portion of their rent. Many voucher recipients are minorities or persons …

Property Landlord And Tenant: Provide For Commission Protection For Real Estate Brokers Subsequent To Any Transfer Or Conveyance Of Real Property Or A Leasehold Interest; Provide For Notices Of Commission Rights And Waiver And Release Of Commission Rights, Kathryn O'Neill Pulliam
Georgia State University Law Review
The Act makes the obligations of a landlord or tenant under a written brokerage commission agreement binding contractual obligations of such a landlord or tenant and of their respective grantees, successors, and assigns. The Act makes succeeding parties bound under such agreement after the sale, transfer, assignment, or other disposition of the subject property or leasehold interest if the conditions specified in the Act are satisfied. The Act provides for the form of notice of commission rights to be filed, as well as the place and timing of the filing. The provisions of the new Code section apply only to …
