Retail Leases Act 2003

A retail premises lease is taken to provide as set out in this section.

The landlord must give the tenant a written estimate of the outgoings to which the tenant is liable to contribute under the lease that itemises those outgoings.

The tenant must be given the estimate of outgoings—

before the lease is entered into; and

in respect of each of the landlord's accounting periods during the term of the lease, at least one month before the start of that period.

The tenant is not liable to contribute to any outgoings of which an estimate is required to be given to the tenant as set out in this section until the tenant is given that estimate.
