Rent Reviews, Reform and What Comes Next
What happens when you put thousands of commercial property professionals in one (virtual) room and ask them what’s really keeping them up at night?
In this episode, head of legal training Richard and host Lizzie answer the most pressing questions from our latest commercial property webinar which had over 4,000 registrants.
From the proposed ban on upwards-only rent reviews to the evolution of security of tenure under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, Richard discuses where the market is heading.
Richard and Lizzie discuss:
•Rent review clauses
•How landlords are using (and testing) redevelopment breaks
•The risks around leases, licences and tenancies at will
•The cases everyone is talking about, including AP Wireless II v On Tower UK Ltd and Lamba v Enfield LBC
