Royal assent to Retail Leases Amendment Act 2020 and the CTRS extension Act given yesterday

Royal assent to the following bills was provided yesterday:

•  the COVID-19 Commercial and Residential Tenancies Legislation Amendment (Extension) Act 2020 (Vic); and

• the Retail Leases Amendment Act 2020 (Vic).

As a result, both Acts came into effect as of yesterday, 23 September 2020.

I will post a summary of the effects of the Retail Leases Amendment Act 2020 (Vic) in the next few days.

We are still waiting on a copy of the Regulations that extend the CTRS for the purposes of the COVID-19 Commercial and Residential Tenancies Legislation Amendment (Extension) Act 2020 (Vic). I will publish a note (or, more probably, many notes) about those Regulations when they come to hand.
