What is a Rent Review?

Most commercial leases in Maidstone include a rent review clause, typically every 3 or 5 years. This clause sets out:

• How the rent is reviewed (market rent, fixed or stepped increases, index-linked).

• When the review takes place.

• Whether there is scope to challenge the proposed rent.

A rent review is not just “landlord proposes, tenant pays.” It involves evidence, lease interpretation, property condition, and local market trends. The right advice can make a meaningful difference.
