Renewal of Business Tenancies deals with the law and procedure of renewing business tenancies - both those under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 and the amended procedures introduced in 2004. It takes readers systematically through each stage of the renewal process, including termination, serving notices and responding, applications for new tenancies, opposition on the part of the landlord, terms of new tenancy, carrying out the order, and preparing for hearings. Procedures in this area changed substantially during 2004, but for some time the old and the new systems will run in parallel. This book bridges the gap by providing the necessary information on both systems.
