Details

This is the revised code of practice for commercial relationships between landlords and tenants, replacing the previous code published in November 2021.

This code of practice aligns with the Commercial Rent (Coronavirus) Act 2022, outlining what is statutory for those within its scope and how the arbitration process provided for in the Act will work.

The code can still be used by any business to help them resolve rent disputes even if they fall outside of scope of the new legislation, providing further guidance on how parties should negotiate.
