If you are a tenant of a qualifying long lease of a house or a flat, and you have been a tenant/legal owner for at least two years, then you have the right to apply for an extension of your lease. A long lease is a lease granted for more than 21 years. You will need to serve a “notice of tenant’s claim” on the Landlord informing them of your desire to extend the lease and request their permission.
An alternative to this would be to negotiate with the Landlord directly. However, by doing this, the Landlord is under no obligation to follow the legislation and can refuse the lease extension or set whatever terms they like.
