Renewing your commercial property lease
Most tenants have the right to renew their business lease when it ends.
However, there are certain tenants who do not have this right.
Business tenancies without renewal rights
You do not have automatic renewal rights if:
- you鈥檙e a farm business tenant
- you鈥檙e a mining tenant
- you鈥檙e a service tenant employed by the landlord
- you鈥檙e on fixed-term tenancy of 6 months or less
- you waived your right to renew at the start of your lease
The landlord鈥檚 right to refuse
Your landlord can refuse to renew your lease if:
- you鈥檙e in breach of your obligations (for example, you鈥檝e not paid your rent)
- they want to use the premises themselves, for their business, or to live there
