Reform Of The Law On Commercial Property Leases

EDM number 811 in 1993-94, proposed by Hugh Bayley on 10/03/1994.

That this House, urges the Government to champion the needs of small businesses by bringing proposals for legislation before the House to make it unlawful for commercial property leases to provide for upward only rent reviews, to enable commercial tenants who assign a lease to a third party, with the landlord's consent, to be released from any further financial obligation to the landlord should the new tenant fail to pay the rent, to provide cheap and speedy arbitration by a genuinely independent arbitrator to resolve disputes between landlord and tenant and to outlaw confidentiality clauses on commercial rents.

This motion has been signed by a total of 91 MPs.
