Alison Sparks & Grace Mercer report on commercial tenancies, rent arrears, & the importance of communication

MoJ easing emergency measures this month

The Law Society has announced that it is seeking views on the new Leasehold Reform (Ground Rent) Bill 2021, which was introduced in the Queen’s speech on 11 May 2021, and endeavours to prevent the onerous raising of ground rents from affecting future leaseholders.

The Property Litigation Association (PLA) has reported that the standard directions for Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 (LTA 1954) claims in the Central London County Court have been updated.

"The statute may not be worth the paper it is written on, but this book most certainly is"

Amendments made to the assured tenancies and agricultural occupancies regulations are unlikely to be music to the ears of landlords, writes NLJ columnist Stephen Gold in this week’s ‘Civil way’.

The Property Litigation Association (PLA) has responded to the government consultation on the best way to withdraw or replace the moratorium on commercial lease evictions and restrictions on the use of Commercial Rent Arrears Recovery, in light of England easing out of coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions.

The Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG) has announced that it is extending the ban on commercial evictions to 30 June 2021, while the ban on bailiff-enforced evictions and the requirement to provide a six-month notice period to tenants before eviction have been extended until at least 31 May 2021 as a result of the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

Writing in NLJ this week, David Renton examines the current status of the eviction ban, and revisits the government’s promised—but as yet undelivered—reforms to the landlord and tenant sector.
