Any rent concessions should be documented precisely to protect both the landlord and the tenant. Further, they should be in the form of a Deed. Legislation governing real estate in most states and territories requires that real estate instruments be in the form of a deed in order to effect a change3 in the interest in land. Most of the arrangements being put in place as the result of the coronavirus are temporary. The Deed precedent makes it clear that that once conditions return to normal the original terms of the lease are resumed.

This precedent set gives you forms of a Deed for the Temporary Variation of a Lease that can be used for commercial tenancies, industrial tenancies and retail tenancies.
