In England, landlord and tenant work for commercial property focuses on drafting and negotiating leases, handling rent reviews, assignments and renewals, and enforcing covenants and rights under the lease in disputes over possession or breach. A solicitor advises either the landlord or tenant, drafts the lease or notices, negotiates terms, reviews security and service charges, and represents the client in court or in tenancy-related proceedings if disputes arise.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The solicitor manages the technical terms of leases, variability in rent review mechanisms, break options, lease renewal under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, service charges, and dilapidations. They coordinate with surveyors, facilities managers, and lenders, handle notices and dispositions, and pursue or defend possession actions, ensuring compliance with contract, statutory, and case law requirements.
