Commercial lease up for renewal? This plain-English guide explains how the 1954 Act’s security of tenure means your tenancy doesn’t just end—you roll on until renewal is agreed or the landlord proves a valid ground (like redevelopment or owner-occupation). We break down Section 25 (landlord proposes terms or opposes) and Section 26 (tenant requests a new lease), how these shape timing, and what’s really up for negotiation—especially rent. We also cover interim rent during the gap (which can be higher or lower) and the fixed compensation payable on no-fault refusals, with tips to keep talks productive and avoid court.
