Legal Terms - business tenancy
An occupation of premises specifically for conducting a trade, profession, or employment. Business renters are granted specific legal protection under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 Part II. When the landlord issues a notice to terminate the tenancy, the tenant typically has the option to seek a new tenancy through the courts. In order for the landlord to object to the granting of a new tenancy, he must demonstrate that he has legal grounds, which could involve the tenant's failure to fulfill their obligations under the tenancy agreement or the landlord's offer of appropriate alternative housing. Alternatively, if the parties are unable to reach an agreement, the court will provide a new tenancy based on terms that it deems reasonable.
According to the Landlord and Tenant (Covenants) Act 1995, when commercial tenancies are transferred to a new tenant, the new tenant usually assumes the obligations and guarantees made by the previous tenant in the lease, unless otherwise specified. Previously, the former tenant remained responsible, even after the transfer of rights, if a future tenant failed to fulfill the lease agreement. If the lease explicitly states so, the previous tenant may be obligated to ensure the responsibility of the person they assigned the lease to through an authorized guarantee arrangement.
