What is a commercial landlord and tenant dispute?
A commercial landlord and tenant dispute occurs when there is a disagreement between a landlord and a tenant regarding the terms, conditions, or obligations under a commercial lease. Common issues include disputes over rent increases, service charges, property repairs, lease renewals, break clauses, and dilapidation claims. These disputes can arise during the lease term or at its conclusion, and if not managed properly, they can lead to prolonged legal battles and financial losses for both parties.
What is a commercial landlord liable for?
A commercial landlord is liable for ensuring that the property is fit for its intended use, complying with health and safety regulations, and maintaining the structural integrity of the building. They are also responsible for adhering to the terms of the lease agreement, which may include repairs, insurance, and ensuring the property meets legal standards for occupancy.
What are your rights as a commercial tenant?
As a commercial tenant, you have the right to occupy and use the property as outlined in your lease agreement. You are entitled to a safe and habitable environment, protection from unlawful eviction, and the right to quiet enjoyment, meaning your landlord cannot disturb your use of the property without proper notice.
Additionally, you have the right to renew your lease or terminate it as per the terms agreed, and you may be entitled to compensation if the landlord breaches the lease terms.
