The corona virus, Covid-19, has been classified as a public health hazard and everyone has a responsibility to prevent the spread of infection. This responsibility lies primarily with the Public Health Agency in Sweden and anyone who is, or suspects to be, infected. In order to limit the spread of the corona virus, the Public Health Agency in Sweden has the right to, among other things, block off a building and it cannot be ruled out that new legislation will be adopted which may affect a landlord's ability to provide premises to tenants. Should such a shutdown occur, or other government measures be taken as a result of new legislation, questions arise on how this would affect commercial lease agreements within the affected buildings. In addition, questions may also arise as to whether landlords may close a building, or tenants demand changed lease conditions, due to the consequences of Covid-19.
