Landlord and Tenant Act 1954

The Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 (LTA) guarantees the tenure of commercial property owners as “security of tenure” and specifies the leasing laws that both landlords and tenants must follow. The act applies to both oral and verbal commercial tenancy agreements. Tenants who continue to pay rent and have not breached any terms of their tenancy agreement have the right to renew their lease and stay in the property. At the end of the lease term, the tenant has the right to apply to a court to begin a new lease term.

 

The security of tenure provision in the Landlord and Tenant Act protects tenants from being forced to move out of their premises unless the landlord has a valid reason for doing so. This allows tenants to continue occupying their space and running their businesses without interruption. A commercial landlord can exclude the security of tenure provisions in the LTA 1954 if they agree to it with the tenant, as long as they follow the correct process. The rules for excluding security of tenure are set out in Section 38A, which specifies that the lease must be for a fixed and certain period of time.
