A commercial lease can be renewed, but the law imposes strict rules and deadlines for this. A tenant wishing to continue using their commercial property after the original contract expires must apply for renewal between 18 and 15 months before the end of the commercial lease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This application must mandatorily be made by registered letter or via a bailiff. Note that even one day late means the loss of your right to renewal. Timing is therefore crucial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is often overlooked: the application must contain more than just the renewal request. You must clearly state the conditions under which you want to enter into the new commercial lease (such as rent and duration). This means you need to formulate a concrete proposal with all the essential elements of the new lease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moreover, you must explicitly state that the landlord will be deemed to have agreed if he does not respond within three months with a reasoned refusal, different conditions or a counter-offer. This legal sanction must be included verbatim in your application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In practice, we see many tenants thinking that a simple registered letter will suffice. This is a misconception with serious consequences: they lose their right to renewal and have to vacate the premises. An incomplete or late application is inexorably sanctioned by the courts with the loss of the right to renewal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In short: those who fail to act in time or in full lose their rights. The law is implacable and does not offer a second chance. It is therefore crucial to seek timely legal advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
