"How do I get him out legally."

Stop playing his game! Assume he has got LTA54 rights, don't waste time thinking otherwise, it could take as long to prove he hasn't with no certainty you'd...

"I wanted to know if I could just say to him either he does it or I'll do it and charge it out of the deposit. " No harm in trying!

Re the deposit, you would have to show that the failure to the work is actually a breach of covenant.

What reason if any is the tenant giving for refusing to do the work? (The tenant's...

I should think so. A distinction exists between the enforceable contractual arrangement between landlord and tenant, and the wider effect of the rules for registration of the interest by a 'third...

The law re dilapidations on expiry is complex and merely because the lease makes the tenant responsible may not mean the breach is necessarily enforceable, at least not without complying with either...

I should think you can seek recovery of unpaid rent up to the day of forfeiture, otherwise you might have to institute forfeiture proceedings for any intervals beforehand.

Dilaps are a separate...

Failure to register also creates difficulties for the tenant in the event of wanting to assign the lease. If the date for registration is long gone then the Land Registry might refuse to accept a...

I've looked up the origin of quarter days.

"In British and Irish tradition, the quarter days were the four dates in each year on which servants were hired, and rents were due. They fell on four...

Apologies, I misunderstood your op; you did not mention you are also the freeholder.
As I understand, the building comprises the shop and premises you occupy, plus the 6 flats above that are sold...

Yes, you can take action against your landlord, but the best way would depend upon the precise wording in your lease. I suggest consulting a solicitor experienced with commercial property.

The usual quarter days are 25 March, 24 June, 29 September and 25 December.

With business tenancies, shop fitting rent-free is not the only reason for non-quarter day starts. A term can commence...

I don't know enough about the GSC obligations to comment but if the the lease contains a covenant requiring the tenant to comply with legislation generally then that puts the onus on the tenant....

You can do what you like in your own property. I don't agree to apply for residential use; generally change of use is for the whole of the premises or a structurally separate part.

Putting a bed...

Although the CH system was paid for by the tenant, I think it would now be considered not as plant and machinery belonging to the tenant (equipment removable) but as a fixture/fitting attached to the...

I suggest you take professional advice and instruct an experienced rent review surveyor because the approach needs careful handling. But in outline based on case law, it is possible to serve notice...

PS - re Land Registry compliant plan, that is only necessary if the lease has to be registered because the term of tenancy is 7 years or longer.

Otherwise, the lease can contain a plan if...

The onus is on the landlord's side to draft the lease, on the tenant's side to approve, although some tenants have their preferred form of lease so it may be worth asking the major chain, in which...

Try to talk to as many as possible on the grounds that you are looking to instruct.

Ah hah. That's where people get the idea of getting as much info as they can free of charge without committing...

1. Great news. the market can revert to its norm.
2. Dumped the novices, and allowed the professionals to buy at sensible prices.
3. Some broke into a sweat or jumped out of windows, the others...

"I was hoping someone might provide such an opinion."

Apart from the fact I should not want to venture an opinion free of charge, (and I doubt any other experienced surveyor would either), the...

There is no set discount. It would be a matter of informed valuation opinion. Whether the residual properties would be considered reliable comparable evidence may not be correct.

Although my field is commercial property (shops), the same principle applies. Investment is about being better off than you were at the end of the time-frame that you have in mind, or the shelf-life...

No you wouldn't be correct. If they oppose on ground of reoccupation then they have to satisfy the 5-year rule (re ownership of the premises) but that is all. What they plan to do with the premises...

The op didn't apply to court so presumably the landlord was informed beforehand the tenant was not contesting the opposition, hence the ensuing discussions re compensation. If the landlord was not...

In my experience, academic institutions, educational bodies, as landlords are not much interested in the niceties of business tenancy law, preferring to tell the tenant what's what and expecting the...
