This CLE course will provide real estate counsel with advice and guidance on the $2.3 trillion Consolidated Appropriations Act 2021 (CAA) provisions that relate directly to real estate. The panel will address the provisions that provide rental assistance and the extent and restrictions on the current eviction moratorium. Real estate counsel will be advised on the types of grants available for commercial property owners of closed venues and the new tax depreciation for residential rental properties.

Description

The 2021 CAA includes several provisions related to real estate, particularly leasing, that counsel should be familiar with as clients continue to seek legal assistance during this time of economic uncertainty.

Congress has extended both the eviction moratorium and rental assistance program. The regulations for applying for this assistance and qualifications are limited, and tenants should not presume any provision of the 2021 CAA will apply to them. Counsel must prepare to assist tenants in securing properties and current landlords in understanding its impact. On the consumer side, the current CAA provides several provisions that extend depreciation to residential rental properties.

Additionally, the 2021 CAA provides limited grants for closed commercial venues to access federal funds and extend the real estate provisions to housing cooperatives. Real estate counsel will need to be aware of the grant requirements to assist clients seeking funds to remain on a property while closed.

Listen as our authoritative panel discusses the recently approved 2021 CAA as it relates to real estate provisions. The panel will address landlord and tenant concerns related to how appropriations can assist clients in remaining in properties while seeking federal funds.
