Landlord and Tenant Act 1954: 6 Grounds a Landlord can Refuse a Tenant to Grant a New Lease

Carter Bond Solicitors | Business, Law and More

In this enlightening podcast episode, we embark on a journey through the complexities of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, delving into the realm of protected leases and the circumstances under which a landlord may opt not to grant a new lease. Joining us is Gaurav Anarkat, an accomplished solicitor specialising in commercial property law at Carter Bond Solicitors, who brings his extensive expertise to unravel the intricate details of this often-confusing topic.

Host Reena engages in a dynamic conversation with Gaurav, deconstructing the core concepts of protected leases as defined by the Act. The duo navigates through the concept that tenants with leases covered by the Act enjoy an inherent right to renew their leases upon expiration, subject to specific conditions. Gaurav skillfully elucidates the mechanics of this process, emphasizing that while landlords do possess the right to refuse renewal, their decisions must adhere to well-defined grounds.

The discussion encompasses a spectrum of grounds upon which a landlord may base their refusal, such as breach of lease obligations, planning permission and redevelopment, non-payment of rent, landlord's intention to utilize the property for themselves, landlord's intention to sell, and provision of alternate accommodation. Gaurav provides valuable insights into each ground, shedding light on the complexities and exceptions that may apply.
