Commercial Landlords & Tenants
Commercial property matters can have a significant impact on the success and stability of a business. Whether you are a landlord protecting your investment or a tenant safeguarding your operations, we provide practical legal advice tailored to your commercial objectives.
Assigning or subletting a commercial property allows a tenant to transfer or share their lease with another business, subject to the terms of the lease. It can provide greater flexibility for businesses whose circumstances or operational needs have changed.
​
At Green & Olive Solicitors, we advise both landlords and tenants on their legal rights and obligations throughout the process. We help ensure agreements are structured correctly, risks are minimised, and your commercial interests remain protected.
Relief from forfeiture is a legal remedy that may allow a tenant to regain possession of their commercial premises after a landlord has ended the lease due to a breach of its terms. Acting quickly is often essential, as strict legal time limits may apply.
​
Our experienced team provides prompt legal advice and represents both landlords and tenants in these matters. We work to protect your position while helping achieve the most practical and commercially sensible outcome.
A breach of covenant occurs when either a landlord or tenant fails to comply with the obligations set out in a commercial lease. These disputes may involve repairs, alterations, permitted use, insurance obligations, or other lease conditions.
​
We help clients understand their legal position and advise on the most effective way to resolve disputes. Whether through negotiation or formal legal proceedings, we focus on protecting your investment and commercial objectives.
Rent arrears arise when a tenant falls behind on payments due under a commercial lease. If not addressed promptly, unpaid rent can place financial pressure on landlords and affect the ongoing relationship between the parties.
​
We provide practical legal advice to landlords and tenants on resolving rent arrears efficiently. Where recovery action becomes necessary, we guide you through the legal process while protecting your commercial interests.
Dilapidation claims relate to a tenant's obligation to repair or restore a commercial property at the end of a lease. These claims often involve disagreements over the condition of the premises and the cost of required works.
​
Our solicitors advise both landlords and tenants on their rights and responsibilities, helping assess claims, negotiate settlements, and resolve disputes in a commercially effective manner.
A rent review is a process that allows the rent payable under a commercial lease to be reassessed at agreed intervals. Ensuring the review is carried out correctly is essential for protecting both landlord and tenant interests.
​
We provide strategic advice throughout the rent review process, helping clients understand their legal position, negotiate effectively, and achieve fair commercial outcomes.
The Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 gives many commercial tenants the right to renew their lease when it comes to an end, subject to certain conditions. Understanding these rights is essential when planning the future of a business or property investment.
​
At Green & Olive Solicitors, we advise landlords and tenants throughout the lease renewal process. We help negotiate favourable terms while ensuring your legal rights and commercial objectives are fully protected.
Service charges allow landlords to recover the costs of maintaining and managing shared areas within commercial properties. Disagreements can arise where charges are disputed or remain unpaid.
​
We provide practical advice on recovering service charges and resolving disputes efficiently. Our team works to protect your financial interests while helping maintain productive landlord and tenant relationships.
Ending a commercial tenancy involves complying with the legal requirements set out in the lease and applicable legislation. Whether initiated by the landlord or tenant, careful planning is essential to avoid unnecessary disputes or financial consequences.
​
We guide clients through every stage of the termination process, ensuring legal obligations are met and your interests are protected. Our aim is to make the process as straightforward and commercially effective as possible.
