In addition, the Act does not protect leases that are less than 6 months which hold no scope to renew.

−	In broad terms, the Act gives a business security of tenure which means they have the right to renew the tenancy when it ends. In a situation where both the landlord and tenant agree on a new tenancy, but cannot agree on the terms, it is possible for either party to apply to the court for the new tenancy.

−	It is possible for a business tenant to terminate their lease by leaving the business premises on or before the termination date under the lease, or by the service of a statutory notice (to terminate no earlier than the termination date specified in the lease), giving the landlord 3 months notice and by vacating on or before the termination date specified in that notice.

−
−	It is possible for a landlord to terminate a tenancy by the service of a statutory notice which provides a termination date not less than 6 months or more than 12 months after the notice has been served. The landlord must also prove a statutory ground for possession. It may be necessary for a landlord to satisfy the Courts if matters cannot be agreed with the tenants.

−	~~The landlord may have to pay compensation to a business tenant on obtaining possession of the premises based on a statutory ground, which is calculated as a multiplier of the rateable value.~~

−	If a landlord does not oppose the grant of a new business tenancy to the tenant, then this affords the landlord an opportunity to be paid the current market rent for the premises under the terms and conditions of the new lease.
