Commercial Tenancies Relief Scheme Regulations have been published

The new CTRS Regulations have now been passed.

A copy of the Regulations is available here: https://content.legislation.vic.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-08/21-103sra%20authorised.pdf

I will provide a summary of the Regs once I have had a chance to work through them myself.

For those wanting to get the jump on the competition, a summary of the Regs has already been posted by Eastern Bridge Lawyers, available here: https://www.easternbridge.com.au/post/ctrs-2021-regulations

As we all work through the Regulations, it is worth remembering this – almost all of the litigation under the first version of the CTRS was about (a) whether a tenant was eligible for rent relief and other protection under the Regulations and (b) whether the tenant had satisfied the statutory requirements of a valid request for rent relief. Consequently, I think it would be prudent for readers to focus your attention on these two issues first.

I will post more as soon as I can.
