TENANCY LAW

TENANCY LAW

Tenancy law encompasses two key areas: commercial tenancy law and residential tenancy law.

Commercial Tenancy Law: This law regulates the relationship between commercial landlords and tenants, covering properties such as shops and offices. It deals exclusively with premises rented for non-residential purposes.

There are detailed regulations on matters such as rent increase notifications, market rent, assignment rights, non-terminability, and the allocation of property operating expenses. Landlords should be aware of the option to have market rent determined through an appraisal, while commercial tenants should know they can request a rent reduction. The principle of “free evaluation of evidence” applies in commercial tenancy cases, emphasizing the need for legal advice whether you are a landlord or a tenant. Stay updated through our website and Facebook group, where we regularly post articles relevant to both commercial tenants and landlords.

Residential Tenancy Law: This law governs residential leases and is subject to detailed rules regarding lease terms and dispute resolution through rent tribunals. It ensures fair practices and protects the rights of both tenants and landlords.
