Pettit Kohn Ingrassia Lutz & Dolin has partnered with the Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce to provide discounted mediation services to the Chamber’s commercial landlords and tenants that have been impacted by COVID-19, specifically as it relates to the commercial eviction moratorium and related rent repayment plans.
Senator Ben Allen will also cover what financial and other resources are available to you from the State of California.
The commercial eviction moratorium is set to end on September 30, 2021. Mediation can be an option to resolving COVID-19 commercial lease disputes without the costly expense of litigation. It is not a substitute for the advice of any attorney and participants may choose to seek advice from legal counsel for their specific situation. However, mediation allows for both parties to willingly participate in the problem-solving process to find a win-win solution for both sides.

Our firm offers independent, third-party mediation services. Our mediators are not agents, representatives, or employees of either the City of Santa Monica or the Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce. All mediators are experienced attorneys who will act as a neutral third-party to resolve lease disputes between commercial landlords and tenants to reach an agreeable repayment plan in a confidential and professional setting. California's mediation confidentiality laws are laid out in Evidence Code Sections 703.5 and 1115 to 1129.
The benefits of participating in mediation include preserving tenancy and occupancy; saving time and money; allowing the parties to have full participation in decisions; encouraging creative solutions; and helping to cultivate peaceful relationships
