The proposed legislation could require lessors to defer CA rent obligations for a year or longer and allow tenants to negate the lease and walk away with no responsibilities for tenant improvements.

A California Commercial Real Estate Legislative alert went out last Friday from AIR about SB 939, a COVID-19 related measure.

The proposed legislation could require lessors to defer CA rent obligations for more than a year or allow the tenant to negate the lease and walk away with no responsibilities for tenant improvements.

If passed the measure would be in effect for 22 months from March 2020 or for two months after the end of the state of emergency, whichever is later.

As mentioned in the notice the proposal mysteriously (or as they say unfairly) doesn’t apply to any publicly traded companies or one that is owned or affiliated with a publicly traded company (franchisee).

Included in the notice are better potential options like the proposal put forth by Toni Atkins.

In November we will have the opportunity to vote in California on the proposed split tax roll which affects the way commercial property is assessed.

Come in November here in California, voters will have to opportunity to vote on the split roll tax.  What “split roll” refers to is traditionally all California real estate had a unified tax roll, commercial being assessed the same way residential is.  The split roll initiative proposes changing the way commercial is assessed from residential.

The first initiative for the split roll tax for the November ballot was withdrawn so the one we are likely to vote on is the 2nd version.  It has been given the somewhat deceptive title “California Schools and Local Communities Funding Act”.  What it proposes is eliminating the limitation on annual increases and taxable value for commercial properties which currently caps at 2% upside a year.  The change would remove the cap and allow commercial property to be reassessed on a continuing basis.

The increase in cost to business and commercial property owners is estimated to be $12 billion a year.  Because most businesses lease their property, the cost would likely  be passed on to the tenant and ultimately flow down to the consumer.  This would remove predictability and stability of costs associated with property tax and would probably cause an initial shock that puts many companies at risk of going out of business.  Advocates have also openly expressed the next step would be going after residential protections.  Some examples of types of businesses that would be affected would be movie theaters, shopping malls, gas stations, supermarkets, retail stores, auto dealerships, car washes, restaurants, hotels, self-storage facilities, factories, warehouses, businesses in office buildings and strip malls.

Some of the COVID-19 coronavirus issues as they pertain to commercial real estate landlords, tenants and lenders.

A few key takeaways:

  • A Force Majeure provision does not necessarily alleviate the tenant from having to pay rent.
  • Some landlords are seeking to provide some kind of relief to tenants, especially to small and mid-size firms in the most affected segments.
  •  While most tenants have received legislative relief, landlords largely have not.
