Lease Renewals

When a tenants lease is approaching expiry, James Oliver & Co will negotiate and provide advice on:

• A landlords Notice
• A tenants Counter Notice
• Timing issues relating to notices
• Tenants rights when taking a new lease
• Interim rent negotiations
• Termination and break clauses and its affect on rent
• Liabilities for decorations/repairs to accommodation occupied by a tenant (Dilapidations)

Understanding what you, as a tenant, should expect is important in terms of when a lease approaches expiry or deciding to possibly implement a tenant’s option to determine. Knowing your rights is essential when entering into these types of negotiations.

Don’t be caught out by not serving a relevant counter notice at the right time, in general terms it is a tenant’s responsibility under the terms of the lease to respond appropriately in accordance with current legislation.
