Once in a Generation – Reviewing the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954

Join us for an insightful breakfast seminar: Once in a Generation – Reviewing the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954. 

The Law Commission is undertaking a pivotal consultation on the security of tenure provisions under the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954, marking the first significant review of this legislation since the 1990s. This review could reshape the commercial leasing landscape for years to come. 

During the seminar, we'll delve into key questions, including: 

• How have commercial leasing practices evolved since the last review? 
• Is the Act effectively addressing the needs of today’s market, and where could improvements be made? 
• Should we reconsider the concept of security of tenure in its current form? 
  
  

Don’t miss this opportunity to engage in critical discussions with industry leaders and experts about the future of commercial leasing. We look forward to seeing you there!
