6 year debt rule - does it apply?

drew100

I have a retail business and lease a shop. My landlords recently told me that they have been incorrectly invoicing me for rent for over 6 years. I therefore have quite a large back rent bill to pay. Would i be correct to say that they are only entitled to recoup from me underpayment from the last 6 years?

It is legal action that is barred after 6 years.

They can still seek to recover by other means.

Whether they can deem it a breach of tenancy or otherwise take action to boot you aout if you don't pay the portion form over 6 years ago, I don't know?

I would give Business Debtline a call.

They are likely to be much more familiar with this sort of scenario.

What does it say in your tenancy agreement? I don't think they can request extra rent if you're paying the amount stated in the agreement.
