National Code of Conduct for commercial leases: The ACT scheme arrives | Practical Law
The National Cabinet announced on 7 April the Mandatory Code of Conduct (National Code) for small and medium sized commercial tenants impacted by the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). We analysed the National Code in our alert: "Mandatory Code of Conduct and the ACT Government's rent relief package for commercial tenancies" (8 April Alert). The States and Territories have since been preparing their own legislation to implement the National Code within their own jurisdictions.
