Full Description
The sheer bulk of legislation applying to the landlord and tenant relationship can appear impenetrable and fragmented. A Practical Approach to Landlord and Tenant provides a systematic and readable guide through the principles of landlord and tenant law. It also includes an analysis of the various statutory codes applying to both residential and business tenancies. This third edition has been comprehensively updated to cover all recent developments in the law, including the Civil Procedure Rules, the Human Rights Act, leasehold reform, and the introduction of commonhold. It has been expanded to include agricultural tenancies, service charges, and management of long leases, and also revised to provide further procedural advice for the practitioner. It also offers valuable context for the student coming to the subject for the first time.
