Frequently Asked Questions
We know that navigating the landlord and tenant relationship can be complex. Here are some of the questions our landlords and tenants regularly asked:
Do I need a solicitor for a commercial lease?
Yes. Commercial leases are legally binding and often complex. Our solicitors ensure the terms protect your interests and help you avoid costly mistakes.
What is the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954?
This Act gives business tenants certain rights to renew their lease. Our solicitors advise both landlords and tenants on renewal rights and negotiations.
What happens if a tenant breaches their lease?
Breaches can result in legal action, including forfeiture. Our team provides advice on remedies available to landlords and defences available to tenants.
Can a landlord refuse a lease renewal?
In certain circumstances, landlords can oppose renewal, but only on specific legal grounds. We guide both landlords and tenants through the process.
What is a rent review?
A rent review is a contractual mechanism to adjust rent during the lease term. Our solicitors advise on negotiations and disputes for both landlords and tenants.
