The Life of a Lease: Module 1

Module 1: Laying the Foundations  

Most problems in the management of leased property arise because potential issues were not accurately identified, or adequately anticipated, at the outset of the letting. Those negotiating heads of terms, as well as lawyers documenting the lease, need to be alive to issues concerning security of tenure and contracting-out, as well as the implications of any pre-existing disrepair, the scope and extent of the repair obligations, documentation of the tenant’s fit-out period, and the role of lease guarantors.
