Forfeiture is used to terminate a commercial lease where there has been a breach of a clause(s) within the lease.

What is a Forfeiture?

A forfeiture can be instructed by a landlord or their agent where the right to forfeit is written within the lease. Upon instruction evidence of this clause will be requested. A certificated enforcement agent will be used to carry out the forfeit.

What you receive

At the conclusion of the forfeiture you will be provided a written report from the enforcement agent including photos of all posted notices and internal pictures of the assets inside the property.

As an added service you can also request a full inventory of the assets – speak to the team for more details.
