Commercial Landlord Disputes FAQs
Common questions from commercial landlords dealing with tenant disputes, lease enforcement, and protection of their property interests.
What can I do if my tenant breaches the lease?
The correct response depends on the breach, the lease terms, and the commercial position. Options may include enforcement action, notices, recovery steps, or negotiation.
Can I recover rent arrears from a commercial tenant?
Yes, in many cases. Recovery options can include negotiation, court action, CRAR, guarantor action, or forfeiture depending on the lease and circumstances.
Can I forfeit a commercial lease?
Possibly. Forfeiture rights depend on the lease and the nature of the breach. The process must be handled carefully to avoid undermining enforcement rights.
What if a tenant carries out unauthorised alterations or subletting?
Unauthorised alterations, assignments, or subletting may amount to lease breaches. The lease terms and surrounding circumstances determine what enforcement action is available.
What happens if I delay dealing with a tenant dispute?
Delay can weaken leverage, increase financial loss, and complicate enforcement. Taking advice early helps protect your position and maintain control of the situation.
