Secure Break Notice For Free

A break notice in a commercial lease is a notice which either or sometimes both a landlord or tenant can serve on the other to terminate the lease before the contractual expiry date under the lease. There needs to be a contractual right in the lease to terminate it before the expiry date.

If your agreement says you can end your fixed term tenancy early, this means you have a 'break clause'. Your tenancy agreement will tell you when the break clause can apply. For example your break clause might say you can end your tenancy 6 months after it starts if you give 1 month's notice.

If you change your mind, you can withdraw your notice with the landlord's permission by writing to them. You should do this as soon as possible in the same way as you sent the notice. Keep a copy for your records. Your tenancy comes to an automatic end when you leave after giving your landlord the correct notice.

In fact, once a break notice has been validly served it cannot be withdrawn; service of the notice effectively terminates the existing lease and creates a new tenancy by implication if the tenant remains in occupation past the break date (Tayleur v Wildin (1867-68) LR 3 Ex 303).

Once an employer serves a notice to terminate employment, it cannot be withdrawn or cancelled. An employee given notice may agree to return to work.

How do I serve a break notice? There are usually ?notice? provisions in a lease that will set out how the notice must be served. The notice must be served exactly as required under these provisions ? if it is not, it may be ineffective. The notice will usually need to be served in writing.

A 12-month break clause substantially is an agreement between a tenant and a landlord that allows the tenant to leave after the first year of his lease without the need to pay any penalty or remaining rent. If the landlord has agreed to this, they will include a break clause tenancy in the rental agreement.
