The Life of a Lease: Module 4

Module 4: Expiry and Turnaround

As lease expiry looms, both landlord and tenant need to be well-prepared for the issues which will arise. If disrepair has not yet been dealt with, this is likely to be a major concern for the landlord, along with reinstatement of alterations. There are deadlines for the landlord to observe if it is not to lose important remedies, and both sides need to be able to operate the Dilapidations Protocol. For tenants, lease termination can be fraught with difficulties, whether arising from operation of a break option, or just from identifying the correct procedural route to termination under the 1954 Act.
