IMPORTANT NOTICE

You are being offered a lease without security of tenure. Do not commit yourself to the lease
unless you have read this message carefully and have discussed it with a professional adviser

Business tenants normally have security of tenure — the right to stay in their business premises
when the lease ends.

If you commit yourself to the lease you will be giving up these important legal rights.

	•	 	You will have no right to stay in the premises when the lease ends
	 
	•	 	Unless the landlord chooses to offer you another lease. you will need to leave the premises.
	 
	•	 	You will be unable to claim compensation for the loss of your business premises, unless the lease
specifically gives you this right.
	 
	•	 	If the landlord offers you another lease, you will have no right to ask the court to fix the rent.

It is therefore important to get professional advice — from a qualified surveyor, lawyer or
accountant - before agreeing to give up these rights.

If you want to ensure that you can stay in the same business premises when the lease ends, you
should consult your adviser about another form of lease that does not exclude the protection of the
Landlord and Tenant Act 1954.

If you receive this notice at least 14 days before committing yourself to the lease, you will need
to sign a simple declaration that you have received this notice and have accepted its consequences
before signing the lease.

But if you do not receive at least 14 days notice, you will need to sign a “statutory” declaration.
To do so, you will need to visit an independent solicitor (or someone else empowered to administer
oaths).

Unless there is a special reason for committing yourself to the lease sooner, you may want to ask
the landlord to let you have at least 14 days to consider whether you wish to give up your statutory
rights. If you then decided to go ahead with the agreement to exclude the protection of the Landlord and
Tenant Act 1954, you would only need to make a simple declaration, and so you would not need to
make a separate visit to an independent solicitor.

If you receive this notice at least 14 days before committing yourself to the lease, you will
need to sign a simple declaration that you have received this notice and have accepted its
consequences, before signing the lease.

But if you do not receive at least 14 days’ notice, you will need to sign a “statutory”

To do so you will need to visit an independent solicitor (or someone else empowered to
