ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Grounds for termination of Code Agreements are very limited with long minimum notice periods. Amendments to the Electronic Communications Code have changed the process for renewing leases and have introduced a process for operators to seek a modification of existing lease rights before Term end in certain circumstances.
How the provisions of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 and the Code interact is another area where care needs to be taken. We can help you to avoid costly court proceedings by helping you to understand the process and the operators' statutory rights. Negotiation is still a major element. Educating the operator on how you use your land or building can be crucial to protecting your own business and agreeing terms that do not put you at financial or other disadvantage.
