Closing stores caused huge financial losses for many entrepreneurs. Tenants of premises in shopping centers are feeling the effects of the current pandemic very severely. Empty facilities only generated expenses because they did not sell, and maintaining them while waiting for a return to business is a significant cost. Tenants of premises in shopping centers had to face a ban on their operations last spring, then the lockdown lasted from November 7 to November 28. From December 28, 2020, the government tightened the regulations on the operation of shopping malls. Until January 31, 2021, there was a ban on retail trade in commercial or service facilities, including retail parks, with a sales or service area exceeding 2,000 m2. The situation was supposed to be improved by the solutions of the Anti-Crisis Shield 2.0, which provided for the possibility of exempting mall tenants from the obligation to pay rent during the closure, but a very important condition had to be met, namely the extension of the contract. After closing the stores, the obligation for the tenant to submit an unconditional and binding offer to extend the lease agreement was updated.
