Leading UK property advice charity, the Ethical Property Foundation is delighted to offer this free online Q&A session

Whether your organisation rents premises from your local authority or a commercial landlord, issues around the lease and premises management can surface at any time and can be confusing. You may be wanting to make changes to the building, sublet, or want to renegotiate service charges. How can you negotiate effectively with your landlord? What makes a successful charity tenant?

If you are a London not-for-profit, join the Ethical Property Foundation chartered surveyors and solicitors Russell-Cooke for this free lunchtime Q&A session with Richard Jones Partner who heads up Russell-Cooke’s charity property team, and property litigation partner Ed Cracknell. The session will be chaired by Ethical Property Foundation CEO Antonia Swinson.

• The landlord wants to raise the rent more than we were expecting. What next?
• Have you and your landlord taken on board the new EHRC code when it comes to your facilities?
• Who is responsible for repairs? What can we do if our landlord is not attending to our requests promptly?
• Our lease has expired and our landlord is proposing a renewal with notably higher rent. What are our options?
• What are our responsibilities for repairs when vacating (Dilapidations)?
• We want to end our lease early. What are our options?
• Can we sublet or share space with other non-profits?
• How can we get a formal lease, or is a Licence to Occupy or Tenancy at Will enough?
