Course description
It might seem at first glance that termination of a commercial tenancy should usually be a very simple business. What makes it complicated is the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, paradoxically an Act designed to protect tenants.
The complexity of the Act means that opportunities can be missed, unless one is on top of the issues.
Presented by commercial property guru Mark Shelton, this webinar will answer important questions such as: what are the common law rules for ascertaining the required length of notice to quit? What methods of termination are effective? How do contractual doctrines of repudiation and frustration work with leases? And can a lease be disclaimed when a tenant is not insolvent?

It might seem at first glance that termination of a commercial tenancy should usually be a very simple business. What makes it complicated is the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, paradoxically an Act designed to protect tenants. The complexity of the Act means that opportunities can be missed, unless one is on top of the issues.
Other options include surrender, disclaimer, and exercise of break options, each of which require a good working knowledge of the technicalities.
