How it comes up, in Chapter 4
Linnet's rent of £60,000 a year is the market rent for the floor in 2026. The lease runs for ten years, and nobody knows what the floor will let for halfway through. So the lease has a rent review: on a fixed day, the rent is reset to what the floor would then let for. That day is the Review Date, five years into the term (the Particulars).
