The legal material analysis technique used is the syllogism method. The results of this study indicate that the Covid-19 pandemic cannot be used as an excuse for the debtor's default on the business space rental agreement because there has been a change in the agreement before the default debtor and in the change of the business space rental agreement there is no clause that includes Covid-19 as the reason for the debtor's force majeure not to carry out his achievements. Debtors who default on the contents of the business space rental agreement by including Covid-19 as a reason for force majeure cannot be released from their obligations. The debtor will still be subject to juridical consequences due to his actions.Keywords: Force Majeure; Covid-19; Business Space Lease Agreement; Default
