COVID-19, Rent Concessions & Lease Accounting

COVID-19 related rent concessions take many forms, but new guidance from the FASB & IASB oversimplifies the real world scenarios. These six scenarios explain what every tenant or lessee needs to know to comply with the new COVID-19 lease accounting guidance from the FASB & IASB.

• Pure rent abatement / forgiveness.
• Rent deferral, with the rent to be repaid later with no other change to the lease.
• Withholding of rent. Not a deferral, but a unilateral decision to preserve cash.
• Rent abatement or deferral, but with a contraction in leased premises or assets.
• Rent abatement or deferral, but with a lease modification to early terminate the lease.
• Rent abatement or deferral, but with an extension of the term and/or expansion of premises / assets under lease.
