In March 2023, the Law Commission revealed its plan to review the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 (“the 1954 Act”) as part of the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government’s wider initiative to revitalise high streets and town centres. The Law Commission, which is independent of Government, aims to create a legal framework which is easy to use and beneficial to both landlords and tenants and overall, hopes to foster “a productive and beneficial commercial leasing relationship between landlords and tenants”.
