303Rules for determining effective duration of lease

(1)The following rules apply for determining the effective duration of a lease for the purposes of this Chapter.

  • Rule 1: Where the terms of a lease include provision for the determination of the lease by notice given by the landlord, the lease is not to be treated as granted for a term longer than one ending at the earliest date on which it could be determined by notice so given.

  • Rule 2: A lease is not to be treated as having been granted for a term longer than one ending on a date before the end of the term for which the lease was granted, if the terms of the lease or any other circumstances make it unlikely that the lease will continue beyond that date.

  • Rule 3: Where the terms of the lease include provision for the extension of the lease beyond a given date by notice given by the tenant, account may be taken of any circumstances making it likely that the lease will be so extended.

(2)Rule 2 applies by reference to the facts known or ascertainable at the time of the grant of the lease.

(3)In applying the rules, it is assumed that all parties concerned, whatever their relationship, act as if they were at arm’s length.

(4)In this section, in relation to Scotland, “term”, where referring to the duration of a lease, means period.

(2)This paragraph does not apply if the determination is for the purposes of section 281 (sums payable for variation or waiver of term of lease).
