Landlord’s Notice to Guarantor to Exclude Security of Tenure

In general, tenants of commercial premises have security of tenure, which means they have the right to remain in occupation of the premises at the end of the term of the lease and can apply to court for a new lease to be granted. The landlord can only resist such an application on certain grounds. If there is a guarantor, they may need to take a new lease if the tenant can't pay rent or becomes insolvent, effectively creating a lease agreement. It's crucial for the guarantor to be served with the appropriate notice to exclude security of tenure and respond accordingly.

This Landlord’s Notice to Exclude Security of Tenure is the prescribed statutory notice a landlord must serve if the Guarantor is to be granted a lease that does not benefit from security of tenure.

The Landlord’s Notice includes a “health warning” advising the guarantor of the consequences of entering into a lease with no security of tenure.

See the Guidance on Excluding Security of Tenure for details of the procedure that must be followed in order to ensure that the guarantor does not acquire security of tenure.

This Landlord’s Notice to Exclude Security of Tenure is in open format. Simply complete the “To” and “From” sections and then sign and date the Notice. The wording of the “Important Notice” section must not be altered.
