Commercial Leases

Offers guidance on how a lease can be amended from the tenant's point of view. The book provides solicitors with amendments to common form clauses and provisions found in leases and agreements for lease. It takes account of the increased bargaining strength of the tenant and ensures that this is fully exploited by: assessing a specimen lease and agreement for lease, clause by clause; flagging amendments and negotiating points; explaining the meaning of questionable clauses and their amendments; supporting the commentary with case law where applicable; and setting out alternative wording to use when redrafting to fit clients' circumstances. This edition takes on board topical developments - such as environmental liabiblity. It also includes updated information on landlord's covenants to tenant, rent review provisions and the service charge clause.
