Opposed & unopposed lease renewal claims
Explore how we can help businesses and individuals with any real estate dispute legal requirements.
Contact our teamLease renewal claims can be either opposed or unopposed, depending on whether the landlord agrees to the renewal.
An unopposed lease renewal occurs when both the landlord and tenant agree on the renewal terms, allowing the process to proceed smoothly. In such cases, the tenant typically has the right to renew under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, with negotiations focusing on the new terms.
Conversely, an opposed lease renewal arises when the landlord refuses the renewal, often citing reasons like redevelopment plans, personal occupation, or tenant breaches. In these situations, the tenant may need to challenge the opposition through legal channels, potentially involving court proceedings to secure their renewal rights.
