Maintained | England, Wales

A standard document providing a template rent authority letter for a former landlord (seller) to use after selling their interest in a let property. This letter serves to formally notify the tenant of the sale and directs them to pay all future rent and other payments due under the lease to the new landlord. This standard document is essential for sellers of commercial property, as providing such a letter is a common obligation in sale contracts. The integrated drafting notes offer guidance on key practical and legal issues, including who should prepare the letter, how it should be addressed, and the mechanics of serving it.
