Hello.
I would be very grateful for any assistance/guidance with regard to the following issue:
I have for the last 7 years rented a small industrial unit for my car maintenance business.
I have never signed a lease of any description.
I pay my rent which includes electricity and rates promptly every month by cheque.
My business has grown so I am currently in the process of purchasing my own freehold unit on the same industrial site.
My current landlord has told me that under The Landlords and Tenants Act 1954 (as amended) I must give 3 clear calender months notice of any intention to vacate, failing which I would be required to pay the rental for any shortfall. I have waded throught the Act and this Forum (glad I found it) but still cannot see that he is correct in what he is saying.
Many thanks for your thoughts.
