What is Forfeiture of Lease?
Forfeiture of lease is a powerful legal procedure that is available to commercial landlords in the UK when tenants breach their lease agreements. It enables property owners to terminate the lease early, regain possession of their commercial premises and potentially re-let to more reliable tenants. This process can be triggered by various breaches, with the most common reason for forfeiture being non-payment of rent – but it can also be implemented because of other breaches such as unauthorised subletting, property damage, or illegal activities
For commercial property investors and managers, it is essential that commercial landlords know that forfeiture rights must be explicitly stated in the lease agreements.
Strikes Property Services Group provides comprehensive support throughout this complex legal procedure, ensuring commercial landlords fulfil all the legal requirements. These include serving appropriate notices (Section 146 for non-rent breaches), observing mandatory waiting periods and following proper re-entry protocols to avoid potential counterclaims.
