A commercial possession dispute can affect a landlord's plans and a tenant's ability to keep trading. Paul Robinson Solicitors advise on commercial property litigation in Stratford, helping establish the occupation status, documents and relevant history before considering the appropriate legal route, with attention to related rent, repair and contractual issues that may also require resolution.

Establish the basis of occupation

We examine the lease or other agreement, variations and correspondence, together with who actually occupies the property. A stated expiry date or informal description of the arrangement may not settle the legal position. Relevant statutory protection and any notices need consideration. Provide information about additional occupiers and prior dealings so the advice does not rely on an incomplete picture of possession.

Assess proposed action before implementation

Forfeiture, expiry and other routes raise different questions. We explain the issues and procedural steps relevant to the circumstances, including where urgent advice is needed. A landlord should not assume it can change locks, and an occupier should not ignore formal papers because negotiations are continuing. The correct response depends on the legal basis and evidence, not merely which party considers the situation unfair.

Consider settlement alongside proceedings

An agreed departure, continued occupation on defined terms or another negotiated outcome may be worth exploring. We assess those possibilities with the wider dispute, including outstanding payments and property condition. Where proceedings are needed, advice includes the risks and practical objectives rather than a guaranteed result. Bring all notices and court documents promptly, along with a concise explanation of the outcome you are seeking.

Frequently asked questions

Does the end date printed in a lease settle possession rights?

Not necessarily. The legal status, statutory position and surrounding documents need examination before either party assumes the right to occupy has ended or continues unchanged.

Should court papers be addressed while settlement discussions continue?

Yes. Negotiations do not automatically remove procedural obligations. Obtain advice promptly so the response to the proceedings and any settlement work can be coordinated appropriately.

Can a possession settlement also address property condition?

It can, if the parties agree. The documentation should specify departure arrangements, any works or payment and the claims being resolved or expressly left outstanding.
