Landlord & tenant management

 

Our experienced Commercial Real Estate team can assist you with any issues relating to consents or licences for alterations, assignment of leases, underletting, deeds of variation and rent or other lease concessions. We also can help with rent reviews, security of tenure and the 1954 Act and any other issues related to leases and the ongoing management of relationships.

We can also provide advice on any issues that arise during the lifetime of a lease. For tenants, this could include questions about your lease obligations or how to handle lease renewals, or for landlords, this could include advice on any statutory obligations associated with letting your property.

FAQs- Landlord and Tenant management

No. Whether a service charge is payable or not depends on the terms of the lease and whether the lease demise forms part of a larger building or estate, where services are provided. Insurance rent is often payable on top of the rent, as a landlord usually prefers to be responsible for insuring its property, with the tenant reimbursing the cost of the premium.

For Landlords – a Section 17 reminder

It was possible during the recession of the late 1980s and early 1990’s to sue original tenants and previous assignees on covenants given in leases when the party to whom the lease had been assigned became insolvent. In some cases, many years had passed since the assignment and many original tenants would have forgotten about any continuing liability.On 1 January 1996 the Landlord and Tenant Covenants Act 1995 came into force.

Battle of the rights – Landlord’s right to build vs the tenant’s right to quiet enjoyment
