Report 260: Aspects of Leases: Termination
Date published:
Summary
The Report on Aspects of Leases: Termination proposes the modernisation of the law governing the termination of commercial leases, replacing the common‑law doctrine of tacit relocation with a statutory code introducing the concept of “automatic continuation”, modernised notice requirements, and clarified rules on lease termination. It further recommends updated provisions on irritancy, notice procedures, an implied term requiring repayment of overpaid rent, and various technical reforms to simplify and clarify the law.
