This practical session will look at some of the common, but tricky, questions that arise in commercial leases – and the answers – including:
- Must the tenant leave the property MEES compliant at the end of the lease?
- What do the courts think about energy efficiency obligations on lease renewal?
- What is vacant possession, when does it matter and when doesn’t it?
- “Correcting” rent review clauses – what do you need to show?
- Lease starts on/from – is there a difference?
- Will a tenant’s break clause be inserted on lease renewal?
- Not all tenants are equal – when a tenant cannot exercise a break right
- Why rent can sometimes be demanded after the lease ends
