The Evolution of the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954: Implications for Retail Property
Updates to the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954: Changes on the Horizon for Tenants and Landlords
In this episode of 'That Retail Property Guy,' Gary Marshall delves into potential updates to the 1954 Landlord and Tenant Act, exploring implications for commercial lease renewals. The discussion focuses on the protections it offers business tenants, the potential for legislative reform, and the broader impact on commercial landlords and tenants. Key points include the Act's protections against the loss of business goodwill, the nuances of court decisions regarding lease renewals, and the debate over whether the act needs modernising to reflect current market conditions. Two legal cases discussed are 'MVL Properties 2017 Limited versus the Lead Mill Limited' and 'Spirit Pub Company Managed Limited versus Pridewell Properties London Limited.' The episode also considers the potential ripple effects on pension funds, the necessity of lease clause modernisation as well as the possible future landscape of retail commercial property.
