Commercial leases are the foundation and essence of property management. Anyone who works in this area needs to be familiar with what they say, what they mean, and how to work them. It will explain the key commercial terms of a commercial lease, and focus on the problems the attending delegates have encountered. The course is ideal for administrators who have not been trained in the nuances of property - also PA's, secretaries, accounts personnel, facilities managers, newly qualified and APC candidates and will run as two virtual sessions of approximately two and a half hours in length.

In a world of climate change, short-term leases, flexible workspaces and greater freedom to change use within the planning framework, there is a need to work towards a more responsive model, and this webinar will consider how different approaches to negotiating and drafting leases, and dealing with tenant’s alterations, as well as making use of alternative dispute resolution procedures, can contribute to that aim. This webinar is aimed at property managers, and surveyors generally, whoever they represent.

Tenants are increasingly looking to rewrite leases, to reflect the impact of COVID, or simply to give flexibility to react to an every-changing world. One opportunity to do this is lease renewal, and a number of recent county court decisions have given valuable guidance on whether flexible terms are available in this way, whether it is a change to rent arrangements, a shorter term or insertion of a break option, a pandemic rent suspension clause, or another of the range of terms which tenants are now asking for. This session outlines the approach which the courts are taking on these issues and others, which in turn sets the parameters for negotiation.
