The determination, by the commercial leases court, of the rent for the renewed lease precludes the making of any order for payment.

This decision sheds important light on your property law. Here is what it changes for you.

The situation

The determination, by the commercial leases court, of the rent for the renewed lease precludes the making of any order for payment. Consequently, an appellate court correctly holds that the landlord is not entitled to calculate statutory interest on the arrears of rent at the increased rate after the expiry of the 2-month period from the date on which the determination became enforceable.

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Key points

• Scrupulously comply with the statutory deadlines for appeals
• Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, deeds, correspondence)
• Anticipate: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
