Business Tenancies Consultation Paper 1
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 the first of two planned consultations.

We recommend that consultees read the consultation paper before responding to the consultation. A shorter summary is also available. Consultees do not need to answer all the questions if they are only interested in some aspects of the consultation.
Once you have completed your consultation response, we would be grateful if you could complete a short survey to help us understand the operation of the 1954 Act in the current commercial leasehold market: business tenancies survey. Your answers will be held and analysed separately to your consultation response.
