A guide to rent review for property lawyers

A guide to rent review for property lawyers This Practice Note deals with the principles behind rent review provisions. For information on drafting and negotiating rent review clauses see Practice Notes: Rent review—a practical lease negotiation guide and Drafting index—linked rent review clauses. Onerous provisions Before getting to the rent review clause itself, the other provisions in a lease can have an impact on the reviewed rent. Points scored and gloated over when negotiating a lease can bite back when the rent comes up for review. In a weak market, the presence of onerous provisions in a lease can entirely wipe out the uplift in rent that would be achieved by a more reasonably pitched lease. In a rising market, any well-advised tenant seeking to limit rent increases at review will argue for a discount to reflect unfair or burdensome terms. While some terms are always regarded as onerous, others shift their status and effect depending on prevailing market conditions. The following are those terms most likely to be used...

What is the deadline for filing a witness statement opposing an application for security for costs? The application itself is to be heard at the CCMC.

What is the deadline for filing a witness statement opposing an application for security for costs? The application itself is to be heard at the CCMC. An application for security for costs is governed by CPR 25.12 and 25.13. It allows a defendant to apply for protection against the risk of being unable to enforce any costs order that may be obtained. The order, if made, usually requires the claimant to make payment of money into court, which the defendant can then use to enforce any costs award they may later obtain. Save that CPR 25.12(2) provides that an application for security for costs must be supported by written evidence (covering the conditions to be satisfied in CPR 25.13), there are no special procedural rules for security for costs applications. Instead, CPR 23 will apply. The application notice, containing the witness statement in support, should be issued as soon as it becomes apparent that it is necessary or desirable, and, if possible, so that they can be considered at a...
