We have a big bill coming our way for upgrading the companies fire protection measures (rented business premises), I know that this upgrade is to meet legal requirements but I can’t find the legislation that
refers specifically to landlords responsibilities.
I haven’t seen the leasing agreement yet but I’m sure that as this was the state of the building when we moved in it must fall on the landlord to repair (just cant seem to find it in law, or a case study) Any help would be appreciated

Who is the responsable person, the landlord or the occupier. Who has control of the building. It is the legal duty of the responsible person regarding fire safety.

James, Who is responsible for repairs/upgrades will normally depend on the terms of the lease. It is normally the case that commercial leases are taken out on a 'full repairing' basis, in which case the tenant is responsible for all repairs and for keeping the building compliant with current legislation. However, if properly drafted the lease will set out exactly what the landlord and the tenant are responsible for. Regards. DJ
