The 1954 Landlord and Tenant Act

After the lease term expires, organisations whose lease is governed by Part II of the Landlord and Tenant Act (1954) are permitted to continue occupying the space. Additionally, these commercial lessees are permitted to sign a new lease with comparable stipulations; however, the lease terms may be revised as deemed suitable.

With specific exceptions, a landlord may reject a new tenancy application and reclaim the tenant's property.

A professional property consultant can assist you in being well-prepared, which is advantageous. All International’s surveyors comply with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) best practice statements and civil procedural rules.
