‘Landlord and Tenant Law’ is an easily accessible introductory text for students of law and related business and professional courses, and for those practitioners starting out in property management. The clear, concise style allows the authors to cover the subject in admirable breadth and depth. Summaries, exercises and workshops concluding each chapter help the reader to make sense of a complex area of law.
This fully revised fourth edition centres initially on the general law of leases, their contractual nature and the interests and obligations which a lease creates. The second part of the book explores the protection afforded to tenants by Statute. This includes residential accommodation, as well as agricultural and business lettings. The Protection from Harassment Act 1997 and other recent developments are discussed, along with thorough examination of the consequences of long-term legislation implemented in the last few years, whose effects are only now becoming clear.
