Rent and Outgoings One common area of dispute between commercial landlords and tenants relates to rent and outgoings. Rent and outgoings are typically set out in the lease agreement, and disputes can arise if the landlord believes that the tenant has not paid the correct amount or if the tenant believes that the landlord has overcharged them.
Repairs and Maintenance Another common area of dispute between commercial landlords and tenants relates to repairs and maintenance. The lease agreement will typically set out the respective responsibilities of the landlord and tenant in relation to repairs and maintenance, and disputes can arise if one party believes that the other party has not fulfilled their obligations.
Termination of Lease Disputes can also arise when a commercial lease is terminated. The lease agreement will typically set out the circumstances in which the lease can be terminated and the notice period that must be given. If the landlord or tenant believes that the other party has breached the lease agreement, they may seek to terminate the lease. Disputes can arise if one party believes that the termination was not valid or if there are issues with the return of any security deposit.
