This is the second event in a new series called the AREF Crisis Forums. The Forums give an opportunity for all our members to discuss the most pressing issues for their firms, share their experiences and help each other get through this crisis.

In our first webinar (link), panel members shared their insights from the last couple of weeks and discussed valuations; rents; insolvency; debt; and everyday practical issues. Our second Crisis Forum will pick up in more detail on the rent collection and day to day property management issues that we touched on briefly in our first forum.
