⏰ Break Clause Details

📌 What is a Break Clause? A break clause allows either the landlord or tenant to terminate the commercial lease early (before the fixed term expires) by giving proper notice. Commercial leases typically require 3-12 months' notice and can only be exercised after a minimum period (e.g., end of 3rd or 5th year).
The date you are serving this notice
? Check your commercial lease for the required notice period. Common periods are 3 months, 6 months, or 12 months.
The date the lease will terminate (notice date + notice period)
? Optional. If your commercial lease references the break clause by a specific clause number or section, note it here (e.g., "Clause 5.3" or "Schedule 2").
⚠️ Important: Make sure you meet all conditions in your commercial lease break clause. Common requirements include:
  • Minimum lease period served (e.g., 3-5 years)
  • No rent or service charge arrears
  • Premises in good repair and condition
  • All business rates and utilities paid
  • Vacant possession provided (premises completely empty)
  • All alterations removed/reinstated if required
  • Notice served in strict compliance with lease terms

📝 Additional Information

? You are NOT legally required to give a reason when exercising a commercial lease break clause. However, you may include a brief, professional reason if you wish (e.g., business relocation, downsizing, changing premises requirements).
? Optional but recommended. Provide a forwarding address for any final correspondence, return of rent deposit (if applicable), or dilapidations matters.
