The general authorisation to sublet,

This decision provides important insight into your property law. Here is what it changes for you.

The situation

A general authorisation to sublet, provided for in the lease, is not sufficient to confer on commercial subtenants, who have not been expressly or tacitly approved by the landlord, a direct right to renewal.

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Key points to remember

• Strictly observe the statutory time limits for appeals
• Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, deeds, correspondence)
• Be proactive: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
