Break Notices
Break notices, also referred to as break clauses, are common contractual provisions in commercial leases that allow a landlord or a tenant to bring a lease to an end early.
They are extremely common but often complex, and usually require the party serving the notice to do so within a specific window of time with certain conditions met either prior to the notice being served or before the lease terminates. If the notice is not served correctly or if conditions are not complied with, then the break notice will not be effective and the lease will continue.
How JMW Can Help
It is crucial that notices are served at the correct place, on the correct entity and in the correct form to avoid any issues regarding the validity of the break notice. JMW is experienced in advising on break clauses in commercial leases and drafting and serving the appropriate notice.
