This standard document is a notice under section 6 of the Law of Distress Amendment Act 1888, from a tenant to a landlord or bailiff, requesting an extension of the period for the sale of goods that have been seized by a landlord who has levied distress.  Upon receipt of the request, a landlord cannot sell the goods until the extended period has expired.  The notice should be served in duplicate and the recipient asked to sign and return the duplicate as acknowledgment of receipt.  The Word version of this document includes a duplicate copy with this provision.  NOTE ADDED (23.01.2014): On 6 April 2014, the procedure for commercial rent arrears recovery (CRAR) set out in the Tribunals Courts and Enforcement Act 2007, comes into force.  From 6 April 2014, CRAR must be used for commercial property and the common law right of distress is abolished (section 71, TCEA 2007).  For more information, see Practice note, Commercial rent arrears recovery for leases. 

Licence from the landlord giving consent to the tenant to assign a lease.  PLC FastDraft gives the option of the lease being either a new lease or an old lease under the Landlord and Tenant (Covenants) Act 1995.  It also allows the licence to includes an authorised guarantee agreement by the tenant, and allows for the option for the tenant to be able to change use and carry out minor works. 

Form 7: Landlord's section 25 notice ending a business tenancy (with reasons for refusing a new tenancy), where the Leasehold Reform Act 1967 may apply.  You should use this form where the landlord wishes to oppose the grant of a new tenancy, and the tenant may be entitled to acquire the freehold or an extended lease.  We would recommend creating this form in FastDraft, as this allows you to insert the relevant details into the form quickly and easily.
