Navigating the Maze of Commercial Tenant Insolvencies
This course covers changes to the landlord-tenant relationship when a tenant enters formal insolvency proceedings, through bankruptcy, receivership, BIA Proposals or CCAA Proceedings. It covers the fate of commercial tenancy agreements and treatment of landlord claims for rental arrears, accelerated rent, occupation rent, and potential damages if the tenant terminates the lease agreement. The limitations placed by insolvency law on landlord rights and remedies are also discussed.
This course offers a refresher on material covered in the 2022 version of the course with some new information and cases arising from the COVID-19 pandemic.)

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
