This is a commercial lease for my business premises, by the way. Landlords are The Gainford Group.

I think you have 1 week per year you were there past 30 days so you would have 9 weeks notice. But you can also allow the eviction process and take them to court. You will have them over a barrel.

You have rights. Doubling rent is illegal. If they don't reply, keep paper trails of everything you've sent and lack of response.

Just stay until you’re ready to leave and let them go to court to get you out. If they can’t behave in a civilised manner then why should you?

I had a similar situation a year ago. Go and see a no-win, no-fee solicitor (make sure they specialise!) and lay it out for them. The one I saw didn’t charge for the initial consultation, so even though I didn’t end up taking action, I knew where I stood, without it costing an arm and a leg.

Take out a loan and buy a garden room…if you have a garden of course. Or could you go mobile?

Dont acknowledge anything from them until you verbally engage with them. Acknowledgement is binding. If your lease end date is coming up they dont need to negotiate or engage in reality theyre just waiting for your decision and thats it. No shock really with the new changes coming in theyre tryinf to secure a new lomg term lease on new terms before the reforms come in next spring.

To be honest, it sounds like you need a solicitor ASAP. You should be able to find a decent high street firm that should be able to help. I am a commercial property solicitor based in the north west, but you should be able to find one locally.

How long was your existing Lease? You must have been aware that the Lease was coming to an end? It the existing Lease is outside of the Landlord & Tenant Act, you have no automatic right of renewal. If you don’t sign the lease you will be taken to Court. Landlord will claim their costs from you too. You either enter into a new Lease or you leave .

What does the rent review clause say on yr lease? I assume the lease term has ended? If the lease has already expired and yr paying rent periodically, you may have protection under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, which gives you the right to renew yr tenancy on fair terms and at a reasonable market rent, not whatever the landlord demands. If u signed an “opt-out” from that Act when u first took the lease, u will have fewer rights, but u can still negotiate. Even when rent review is allowed, the new rent must reflect current market value, not an arbitrary figure. You should ask the landlord for evidence of the valuation and consider getting an independent surveyor to assess what similar premises are renting for. Yr next steps should be to read the lease carefully, confirm yr rights under the 1954 Act, and negotiate in writing only. You can also get help from a commercial property solicitor, a chartered surveyor (RICS), or organisations like the Federation of Small Businesses or Citizens Advice, who can check if the increase is lawful and help you challenge or negotiate it. Send everything via email, whether they ignore it or not, it is evidence of yr attempts to access info you have a right to, and negotiate in a reasonable manner. They do not have the right to evict you with a weeks notice, so you don't need to go anywhere. Normal practice is in months, not weeks. If you haven't seen the new lease, then they have no rights to hold it over you or ask you to sign it, So just keep paying the old rent. I would urge you to get advice on this.
