Synopsis

Varying leases is never an easy option and managing agents who have tried on behalf of clients usually advise extreme caution before proceeding. That said there are cases where defective leases make good management impossible.

It is not the role of a managing agent to push through a lease variation. The instructions of the client are required. A managing agent can advise and may agree to take on some of the work involved for an additional fee.
