Carter Validus' tenants seek deferments amid pandemic

Carter Validus Mission Critical REIT II Inc. says a “minor share” of its tenants have requested rent deferrals or have had to shut their doors amid the Covid-19 pandemic, but the company believes it is “well positioned” to handle the crisis.

In a letter to shareholders, Carter Validus’ President and CEO Michael Seton says government restrictions on elective surgeries has impacted some of its tenants in the healthcare sector, but that overall the Tampa-based landlord’s portfolio remains sound.
