Background

Most tenancies or leases of business premises are protected under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954. However, there are a number of exceptions. It is imperative to determine at the outset whether the lease or tenancy is protected. Even if it is protected, the grant of a new tenancy can be denied provided that certain specific grounds are met.

Renewals of protected business tenancies take place under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954. There are strict procedures and time limits to follow. It is therefore important that you take professional advice at the earliest opportunity in order to avoid the many pitfalls that could prevent a successful outcome.
