Law Commission consultation on business tenancies: modernising security of tenure

Overview

This is a public consultation by the Law Commission for England and Wales.

Our wide-ranging review will consider in detail how the right to renew business tenancies, set out in Part 2 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, is working and will consider options for reform. This is our second consultation on this project.
