If you do not adhere to rights and obligations in a commercial lease, it can breach the lease.&nbsp;This article will detail the common rights of a landlord in a commercial lease in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Commercial Lease<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A&nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/commercial-lease-property\/commercial-rent-agreement\/\">commercial lease<\/a> is where a property owner allows a business owner to copy their property as their commercial premises.&nbsp;The property owner or landlord will permit their commercial tenant to carry out a specific business activity within the property, and in return, the tenant will pay rent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A commercial lease agreement will govern the commercial lease.&nbsp;This is a legally binding contract that details the rights and <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/commercial-lease-property\/obligations-landlord\/\">obligations<\/a> of both parties to the lease. For example, it will describe the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the lease term;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the rent amount;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>repair and maintenance rights;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>any rent review clause; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>termination rights.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Landlord\u2019s Rights&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The rights a landlord has in a commercial lease are \u201creservations\u201d.&nbsp;These are the rights in a commercial lease relating to the retail premises that the landlord reserves as theirs.&nbsp;They arise from the presence of the lease rather than existing before a landlord grants a lease.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some landlords\u2019 reservations in a commercial lease may be pretty reasonable, but others are more demanding on the tenant\u2019s occupation of the premises.&nbsp;Let us explore some common landlord rights in a commercial lease below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<a

If a commercial lease grants a landlord the right to install these, they should ensure it does not disrupt tenants too much or reduce the area they enjoy on the premises.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Installations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A commercial landlord may have a right in a commercial lease to install items outside the commercial premises.&nbsp;This is particularly relevant to retail premises.&nbsp;This may be to allow for the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>signs which direct people;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>lighting; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>security cameras.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>However, even where a commercial landlord does have a right to install items on the outside of their commercial property, it is essential to ensure that this does not influence a tenant&#8217;s rights.&nbsp;This may relate to the following examples:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>their signages;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>their shop front and display;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>access to the commercial premises;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>their shop window; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>their competition, such as advertising a competitor nearby.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Closure of Common Parts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some commercial leases may reserve the commercial landlord the right to close common parts of the commercial property.&nbsp;This may allow them to do so:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>permanently;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>temporarily; or<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>by redirecting these.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You should be aware that where a commercial lease grants a landlord this right, they should offer a:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>reasonable alternative; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>not unnecessarily affect access to the premises.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Carry Out Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is common for commercial leases to grant a commercial landlord the right to carry out works on commercial property.&nbsp;This can include their right to develop a neighbouring property to the commercial premises. This can consist of the right to erect scaffolding as long as this does not affect access to or use of the premises.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n    <div class=\"my-7 lg:my-10 border-y-2 border-gray-100 py-7 lg:py-10 flex flex-col sm:flex-row items-start gap-10\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"w-52 mx-auto my-0! rounded\" src=\"https:\/\/img.legalvision.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/05\/04050959\/LegalVision-Landlords-Cheatsheet-for-UK-Leasing-Terms.jpg\" alt=\"Front page of publication\"\n                 loading=\"lazy\" width=\"208\" height=\"298\">\n                <section>\n            <div class=\"text-2xl font-bold\">Cheatsheet for UK Leasing Terms<\/div>\n            <div class=\"body-text\">\n                <p>This cheatsheet includes practical tips to understand key clauses and avoid disputes in leasing agreements.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            \n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/go.legalvision.co.uk\/cheatsheet-uk-leasing-terms.html\" class=\" block px-5 py-3.5 max-w-fit bg-orange button__hover transition rounded text-white font-bold text-lg no-underline uppercase leading-tight text-center\" target=\"\" rel=\"\">Download Now<\/a>        <\/section>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p>Where commercial leases do prescribe these rights to the commercial landlord, they should not be so onerous that they either:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>prevent a tenant from seeking compensation where the work disturbs the tenant\u2019s enjoyment; and&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>do not provide additional protections to the tenant&#8217;s trade, particularly for retail and restaurant premises where the effect can be very detrimental.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Light<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Commercial landlords often reserve the right to light the land they own.&nbsp;This stops commercial tenants from building where it would affect this.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Commercial landlords will have rights in commercial leases.&nbsp;These are reservations as they reserve rights which arise as part of the existence of the lease.&nbsp;Whilst the landlord&#8217;s rights may vary across leases, there are some common rights landlords enjoy in commercial leases, and we have detailed some of these in this article.&nbsp;For example, the right to light can prevent a tenant from building on the land and the right to close common areas.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A commercial landlord may also reserve the right to work on the property, but they should ensure they provide additional protections for the tenant, particularly if they are a retail or restaurant business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need help understanding the common rights of a commercial landlord in a commercial lease in the UK, LegalVision\u2019s experienced <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/leasing-lawyers-lp\/\">leasing lawyers<\/a> can assist as part of our LegalVision membership.
