Casualty: A Tenant's Perspective
When a fire or other casualty damages a tenant's premises, especially when the premises is part of a larger retail facility like an enclosed regional mall, the rights outlined in the tenant's lease will dictate how the casualty is handled, including, without limitation, determining what obligations the landlord and the tenant have in the reconstruction of the premises, how long a landlord and a tenant will have to perform their work in order to rebuild the premises, any rent abatement that will occur and any termination rights that either the landlord or the tenant will have based upon the casualty.
