Landlord and Tenant

Modern leases are complex documents; landlord and tenant law, as well as market practice, is changing all the time.

From the landlord's perspective, a poorly drafted lease can harm the marketability and even the value of its investment in a property. For a tenant, an onerous lease may affect business operations and the value of the business. Tenants' obligations may well continue long after an interest in the lease has been disposed of.

EDB will advise you how to protect your interests, whether as a landlord or tenant, on all types of leasehold matters, including the acquisition or disposal of leasehold premises, termination of tenancies, rent reviews and any necessary steps required to safeguard your position under current legislation affecting security of tenure.

Our property team gives practical advice to landlord or tenant regarding the various types of covenants and conditions contained in a lease or tenancy, such as subletting, alterations, repairs or user clauses and any consents that may be needed from a landlord in respect of these.
