Commercial Investment property - Ground floor is a shop and First Floor is in Offices. Tenants in First Floor offices are 5 years into 20 year FRI lease and now want to sub let for the remaining 15 years. They are now looking for consent and Landlord has to engage solicitor to check out articles and accounts for the proposed new tenant and also review the new lease. Who should pay the landlords legal fees him or sitting tenant? Any opinions appreciated. Thanks
 
In general and subject to it being covered in the Lease, the tenant would pay the Landlord's reasonable costs/ fees.
