Commercial property leases often contain clauses relating to subletting or assigning a lease. In order to be successful, the tenant has to abide by the relevant provisions of the lease and the landlord also has an obligation to respond in an appropriate manner.
Disputes over illegal subletting, alterations or change of use of commercial properties do occur and can lead to Court proceedings. Cases have been known in which tenants claim that consent has been unreasonably withheld and demand damages. In order to avoid proceedings and secure your position in any future proceedings, it is advised that both landlords and tenants seek legal advice. Our commercial property solicitors are experts in resolving these kinds of disputes.
