You can vary the term of a subsisting lease through a variation deed made between the landlord (lessor) and yourself (lessee).

Steps:

Reach a consensus with the lessor on variation of the term of the lease.


Prepare and sign a variation deed showing the changes made.


If the lease was granted by a public body, make an application to them by letter for variation of the lease.
