ABSTRACT
Under the provisions of Part II of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 (the 1954 Act), a tenant who has a business lease will be entitled to a new tenancy provided the landlord does not establish a statutory ground of opposition and the tenant takes certain procedural steps laid down in the 1954 Act. For a business lease to be protected in this way by the 1954 Act, it must comply with the requirements contained in s 23(1) of the 1954 Act. If it does not, then it will not be protected.
