Even where a lease is protected by these provisions, a landlord is not obliged to grant a new lease and can oppose the grant of a new tenancy under certain grounds.
Section 30 of The Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 provides seven grounds for refusal which include but is not limited to redevelopment, historic breaches of the lease and non-payment of rent.
The renewal of a lease can be achieved without adopting the use of the statutory process and our commercial lease renewals team can advise you how best to proceed in consideration of your circumstances.
