A Guide to Landlord and Tenant Law, 2nd edition is a comprehensive yet accessible exploration of the law relating to residential and business tenancies. It explores the fundamental features that apply to all leases and how the lease operates in both contract and property to regulate the relationship between landlord and tenant. In addition, the book provides a thorough yet straightforward exploration of the statutory codes that apply to short residential leases, long leaseholds and business tenancies.

The law is presented in a practical way, highlighting the importance of understanding the law for professionals advising landlords and tenants. The new edition includes more examples to illustrate how the law presented in each chapter impacts the advice given by lawyers and surveyors to their landlord and tenant clients. These updated features sit alongside additional content covering major updates to the law, including:
