A commercial landlord seeking the return of premises needs advice on the route to possession, not just the seriousness of the alleged breach. Paul Robinson Solicitors assist landlords and occupiers in Grays with commercial property litigation involving termination and possession. We examine the documents and conduct of the parties before assessing what response is legally available.

Identify the basis on which occupation is challenged

Provide the lease, relevant agreements and the evidence of the alleged breach or ending of the term. Explain who occupies the premises and whether others have interests there. We distinguish the different legal routes rather than treating every possession problem as forfeiture. The nature of the occupation and the reason possession is sought affect the analysis and the procedure requiring consideration.

Check the implications of conduct and correspondence

Notices, demands, payments and communications may matter to the position. Preserve them and tell us what has already been done before taking another step. We advise on the relevant requirements and risks, including whether urgent proceedings need consideration. Do not change locks, remove goods or assume a lease has ended solely because a breach is alleged; unlawful exclusion can create serious additional problems.

Evaluate possession alongside a negotiated outcome

The commercial objective may be payment, compliance or an agreed departure. We assess potential routes and their consequences, including the possibility of challenges to the action proposed. A carefully documented agreement may offer a different outcome from contested proceedings. Neither forfeiture nor possession should be presented as automatic, and a strong complaint does not guarantee that the court will make the order sought.

Frequently asked questions

Does every lease breach allow the landlord to end occupation immediately?

No. The lease, breach and applicable law must be considered, including relevant procedural requirements. Obtain advice on the specific circumstances before treating an allegation as authority to terminate the lease or exclude the occupier.

Why should payment records be supplied in a possession dispute?

They may be relevant to the alleged breach and the parties' subsequent conduct. Your solicitor needs the complete sequence to assess the available route, rather than only the demand or letter that started the disagreement.

Can an agreed departure replace a contested possession claim?

It may be an option, depending on the parties and legal position. The arrangement must be properly considered and documented, including its effect on occupation and outstanding liabilities, rather than relying on an informal promise to leave.
