Course Outline
Introduction
When a tenant has decided to bring its lease to an end, it will often be a priority to do so as soon as possible, so as to limit the exposure to further rental payments. It might seem at first glance that termination of a commercial tenancy should usually be a very simple business. What makes it complicated is the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, paradoxically an Act designed to protect tenants. The complexity of the Act means that opportunities can be missed.
Other options include surrender, frustration, repudiation, disclaimer, and exercise of break options. Also, not all tenants occupy under a formal lease, and different considerations affect termination of less formal arrangements like tenancies at will, licences to occupy, and periodic tenancies.
