Licence to Alter

Often a tenant finds that they want to carry out works of improvement or alteration during the term of the lease, but this is often strictly controlled by the lease.

This webinar will consider the effect and interpretation of relevant provisions and then go on to consider the following:

• What rights does a tenant have to carry out alterations under the lease?
• What are the effects of statutory/case law on ‘improvements’ vs alterations?
• What is the procedure and the (non-statutory) protocol
• Getting landlord and superior landlord’s consent
• When can a landlord refuse consent?
• Costs and undertakings issues
• The licence for alterations
• Rent review disregards – when will alterations be ‘rentalised’ on rent reviews?
• Removal at the end of term & soft strip outs
