1. Forfeiture of Leases for Non-payment of Rent – Ten Key Issues
Presented by Mark Shelton – Commercial Property Management Law Trainer
The logic that if the tenant does not pay the rent the landlord can take the property back continues to have a clear appeal. Forfeiture may be seen as the opportunity to remove the awkward tenant, or it may be the most effective sanction to enforce performance of tenant’s obligations. However, it is an area of law which can be archaic in certain respects, and confusing and technical in others. This session, by the author of ‘A Practical Guide to Forfeiture of Leases’, identifies clearly and practically the important steps to effective use of forfeiture.
2. Opposed Lease Renewals – Pushing at an Open Door?
Presented by Mark Shelton – Commercial Property Management Law Trainer
For the landlord wishing to get possession back at the expiry of a tenancy, the grounds and procedure for opposing renewal under the 1954 Act can look like an obstacle course. In fact, the cases lay down ways through which are comparatively straightforward, so the smart adviser can help the client to the right outcome effectively. There are also several practical tips which help to reduce the amount of compensation payable. Tenants, on the other hand, need to know the tactical levers which can help put them in the strongest negotiating position. The caselaw continues to develop, and this session considers the lessons of recent cases as well as reviewing the grounds of opposition, tactics, timing and procedure.
