Commercial Tenant Disputes

Resolving commercial landlord and tenant disputes

Here at Hart Brown Solicitors, our team of lawyers are experts in resolving commercial landlord and tenant disputes. We know that a dispute with your landlord could result in you losing the property or all of the goodwill being destroyed. Commercial tenancy disputes and the complexities of commercial tenancy law can cause a lot of stress to both parties. This is why our commercial tenant dispute solicitors are on hand to find a resolution quickly. As a tenant of commercial premises, you have a financial interest in the property, particularly if you have built up goodwill with a loyal customer base over many years. Regardless of the reasons behind the tenancy dispute, we’re on hand to help inform you of your commercial tenant rights and find the right solution for you.

Hart Brown’s team is used to dealing with a variety of commercial landlord and tenant disputes. We have a proven track record of success in dealing with the following:

  • Possession or renewal claims under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954
  • Claims for arrears of rent or service charges
  • Other breaches of covenant
  • Dilapidation or repair claims
  • Disputes relating to unauthorised alterations or subletting
  • Forfeiture

We understand that commercial property tenant disputes can be daunting and will often bring up lots of questions. Our tenant dispute solicitors are able to advise on each tenant’s legal rights in relation to the commercial property.

This is a complex and heavily regulated area of law where a failure to follow the correct procedure can cause delay, expense, and in the worst-case scenario the loss of the tenancy altogether. In many of these cases, it is important to act both quickly and decisively. Hart Brown’s considerable experience in this area enables us to do both successfully.

Whilst the only option may be to resolve the dispute in court proceedings, we will always explore other ways of resolving the dispute by means of negotiation or a ‘round table meeting’.
