For a lease extension a person must have been a qualifying tenant for 2 years on a long lease and not be a business/commercial tenant.
What is the definition of a business or commercial tenant?
My client owns 3 lodges and wishes to extend their leases. He qualifies under the 2 year rule and long lease rule. However he frequently rents out the lodges and this provides him with a great deal of income. However this is not his business just a side line.
i think the problem is the freeholder wants to locate the lodge and although there is nothing specifically in the lease saying he can there is nothing in it saying he cant either.
so if he is just subletting and not actually using the premises to run a business from then this is ok? it is still a qualifying lease and he a qualifying tenant?
