Registering A Commercial Lease

Most tenants are under the impression that after concluding a lengthy negotiation for a commercial lease their rights are protected for the duration of their lease term. 

​

However, a tenant who fails to register its lease at the Land Registry Office can be evicted by a subsequent purchaser of the property before the expiry of the term of its lease and simply by providing a notice.

By simply registering a lease before the alienation of the property, a tenant can enforce their leasing rights and the subsequent acquirer of the property will have no choice but to respect the lease for the entire duration of the lease term.
