3. Landlord’s Works, Quiet Enjoyment and Derogation from Grant [2022]
Presented by Mark Shelton – Commercial Property Management Law Trainer
Landlords will have many reasons for carrying out works on or adjacent to leased premises during the term of a lease. It may simply be a matter of complying with obligations as to services and repair, such as replacing lifts or air-conditioning plant, or it may be a more strategic project such as a major refurbishment or reconfiguration. The landlord may be exercising its right to carry out works within the tenant’s repair obligations following service of a repair notice. Upgrading energy efficiency performance is increasingly a prompt for landlords to undertake work to a development, while the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and the revisions to the Use Classes Order have led landlords to consider adapting premises for repurposing.
The starting-point, of course, is that the tenant has exclusive possession of the premises, subject to any express rights of access in favour of the landlord. There may well be rights reserved in the lease to facilitate works, but exercise of those rights will be subject to the quiet enjoyment covenant and the implied obligation not to derogate from grant, as well as the law of nuisance.
This session will consider how the courts reconcile these tensions, and the practicalities of drafting and planning for a programme of works undisrupted by tenants’ issues.
4. Rent Enforcement – The Return of Normality? [2022]
Presented by Mark Shelton – Commercial Property Management Law Trainer
The problem of commercial rent arrears accrued over the period of the Covid-19 pandemic is well-known. While landlords have mainly been ready to help in sustaining tenants’ businesses by offering rent concessions of one sort or another, government has stepped in to restrict most of the available remedies for recovery of rent arrears. At the same time, the Government’s Code of Practice has emphasised that tenants who are able to pay should do so, but this has not stopped some high-profile tenants from taking advantage of the restrictions to withhold payment, even though well able to meet their obligations.
It was recognised from the outset that this irregular situation would need to be unwound, but it was far from obvious how this could be achieved. The Commercial Rent (Coronavirus) Act is the government’s answer to the puzzle.
The legislation leaves many uncertainties, however, as to the position of multiple-site businesses, enforcement of judgments obtained before the Act came into force, default under agreements reached with landlords, and others.
This session addresses the uncertainties, and gives an overview of what remedies are now available, against whom, when, and for what arrears.
