What is Commercial Lease Forfeiture?

Commercial Lease Forfeiture is a legal process that allows landlords to reclaim possession of leased commercial property from tenants who have breached the terms of their lease or failed to meet contractual obligations such as paying rent arrears. Before commencing the forfeiture process the landlord should cease all engagement with the tenant as they cannot be seen to acknowledge the lease itself, the landlord can take back possession of the premises immediately and without further delay (subject to the terms in the lease itself).

To exercise a Lease Forfeiture there must be a valid lease that must be evidenced in writing. The legal definition of “lease” in this circumstance is;

• a tenancy in law or in equity
• including a tenancy at will
• but not including a tenancy at sufferance
• references to a lease are to a lease as varied from time to time (irrespective if variation is in writing)

Essentially the landlord must have an unequivocal intention to terminate the lease. Commercial Lease Forfeiture is a powerful tool for landlords to regain possession of their property and protect their interests.
