While the deferred rent must still be paid after the deferral period ends, no penalty interest is payable by the tenure holder on the deferred rent for that period. All approved deferrals will be reviewed to ensure the circumstances are still current.
Once the deferral expires, interest will again accrue until such time as the account is paid or a further deferral application is made and approved (if eligible).
