Frequently asked questions – Commercial Property Disputes
What are common causes of commercial property disputes?
Common disputes arise from breach of lease terms, non-payment of rent or service charges, issues regarding maintenance and repairs, unlawful occupation, dilapidations, and disputes over lease renewal terms or break clauses.
Can I terminate a commercial lease early if my tenant breaches the terms?
Yes, landlords may be able to forfeit a lease if the tenant breaches its terms. However, you must follow strict legal procedures, including serving a Section 146 notice, unless the lease contains a forfeiture clause applicable in the circumstances.
How long does it take to resolve a commercial property dispute?
The duration depends on the complexity of the dispute and the route taken—some disputes can be settled quickly through negotiation or mediation, while others may require lengthy litigation through the courts.
Do I need to go to court to resolve a commercial property dispute?
Not always. Many disputes can be resolved through alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation or arbitration, often resulting in quicker and more cost-effective outcomes compared to court proceedings.
Can I recover legal costs if I win my commercial property dispute?
In many cases, the winning party can recover reasonable legal costs from the losing party. However, this depends on the nature of the case and any clauses within the lease agreement that address cost recovery.
