Business premises question:
I have a non residential/commercial tenancy agreement for an arch in London.The rent is paid till the the end of March and I have evidence of it. On Sunday, 20 March 2011 the landlord removed my lock, put his own lock and a sign on the door according to which the premises has been forfeited and I should contact his solicitor. There are several equipments that belong to me or other people who stored, borrowed them to me. No notice of termination or warning letter has been given by the Landlord. I have reported the case to Metropolitan Police and sent several letters to the solicitor asking for access to the premises within 3 days.

If you are sure all the rent and service charges (if any) are paid up to date and that you have not committed any breach of the terms of the lease (and you would know this because your landlord should have served a notice (called a section 146 notice) then you can apply to the local County Court immediately for what is known as relief from forfeiture. But hurry up as delay will cause you problems. If necessary go and see a commercial property litigation solicitor.
