The spread of the novel SARS CoV-2 virus (COVID 19 pandemic) has significant negative effects on public life and in particular economic consequences for many citizens and businesses. In order to mitigate these economic consequences, the German legislator passed the Law to mitigate the effects of the COVID 19 pandemic in civil, insolvency and criminal procedure law on 27 March 2020 (“COVID 19 Act”), which regulates the following key points:

For tenants and leaseholders it will be a particular problem to pay the current rent for residential or commercial space. Therefore COVID 19 Act stipulates that for tenancies of land or of rooms, the right of the landlord to terminate tenancies is temporarily restricted. This applies to both residential and commercial leases. Therefore the act statutes:
II. Bankruptcy

The aim of COVID 19 Act is to give the companies and their representatives time to take the necessary precautions to eliminate insolvency maturity. Therefore the act statutes:
The obligation of managers of liable corporate entities to file for bankruptcy with criminal and liability penalties is suspended for a temporary period. Companies do not have to file for bankruptcy by 30 September 2020.
If such an enterprise continues to make payments such as rent, these payments are not contestable by the subsequent insolvency administrator.

To mitigate the economic consequences of the corona pandemic for individual consumers, COVID 19 Act also stipulates the following:
