Landlord and Tenant Obligations

Landlords and tenants hold defined responsibilities for the condition, safety and ongoing maintenance of commercial and industrial buildings.
These duties are normally set out within lease agreements and supported by UK legislation governing building safety, workplace environments and property management. Clear understanding of these obligations helps prevent disputes and ensures that buildings remain safe and operational throughout the lease term.
Ambrey Baker provides technical advice on landlord and tenant obligations. We review building condition, fire safety, hazardous materials and shared infrastructure. Our team reviews the physical condition of each building. We identify lease responsibilities for repair, monitoring or improvement.
Where relevant, our assessments consider legislation and standards that affect commercial and industrial premises. This includes the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. It also includes asbestos management duties under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. These regulations place responsibilities on building owners, employers and duty holders. They help ensure premises remain safe for occupants and visitors.
With almost 40 years of experience working within industrial and operational environments, Ambrey Baker understands the challenges associated with managing leased buildings. Our guidance provides clear, recommendations that help landlords and tenants manage property responsibilities effectively while maintaining safe, compliant and fully operational facilities.
