Key facts

Form RPEC5 is available on GOV.UK under the title "Apply to renew or terminate a business, professional or other tenancy which has security of tenure".

Both landlords and tenants can use the form. It is for applications made under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 in the telecommunications infrastructure context.

The form is a PDF. It can be downloaded and opened on a device, and downloading allows more features to be used, such as printing. Adobe Reader is a free PDF viewer that can be used to view, fill in and print the form. No free trial sign-up is needed.

To open the form, right-click the document link and select "Save link as" or "Download linked file". Save the form, in a "documents" folder for example, then open Adobe Reader and select the saved form.

If the form still does not open, HMCTS forms can be contacted at hmctsforms@justice.gov.uk. A printed version can be requested from the local court.
