On July 20, 2021, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors unanimously approved an amendment to the San Francisco Commercial Eviction Moratorium Ordinance (Moratorium Amendment) codifying a legal presumption to potentially provide rent relief to small businesses forced to shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Moratorium Amendment establishes a rebuttable presumption that the purpose of a retail lease is frustrated and that the payment of rent is excused if a “Covered Commercial Tenant” was legally prohibited from operating due to a COVID-19 public health order. (A Covered Commercial Tenant is a retail tenant with less than $25,000,000 in gross receipts in 2019 that can demonstrate a decline in more than 25% of gross revenues.)
