Landlord Cheval Property Holdings Ltd is suing Knightsbridge Portfolio Services Ltd for compensation for the use and occupation of the second floor at 55a Knightsbridge, London SW1.
The claimant, a Jersey company, contends that, between 1998 and September 2002, the property was leased to Knightsbridge for £9,000 pa, plus service charges. Following the expiry of the lease, Knightsbridge allegedly continued to occupy the property as a tenant at will until November 2004.
Cheval maintains that, despite negotiations, Knightsbridge has neither signed a new lease nor paid for its occupation. It is seeking £18,000 pa plus service charges, amounting to £23,786.93, together with interest.
