COMMERCIAL LEASE TERMINATION SOLICITORS

Ending a commercial lease can be complex, and both landlords and tenants need to understand their rights and responsibilities to avoid disputes. Whether your lease falls under the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 or is excluded, we can help you navigate this process smoothly.

For leases covered by the 1954 Act, landlords must serve notice if they don't intend to renew, while tenants have the right to request a new lease. For leases outside the Act, tenants must vacate unless a new agreement is negotiated.

A common issue at the end of a lease is terminal dilapidations, where landlords seek compensation if the premises aren't returned in the required condition. Whether you’re a landlord making a claim or a tenant responding to one, we offer advice to minimise disputes and control costs.

We assist landlords in preparing proper dilapidations claims and help tenants assess their validity, negotiating fair settlements to ensure only legitimate repairs are paid for.

The end of a commercial lease can also involve disputes over break clauses, notice periods, holding over periods, interim rent and deposit returns. . We work with both landlords and tenants to ensure all legal obligations are met and help resolve any issues that arise.
