The sixth edition has been comprehensively updated to cover all recent developments in landlord and tenant law. It includes coverage of all relevant case law and sets out the various statutory codes applying to both residential and business tenancies, highlighting key points. This edition considers the impact of the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 on residential tenancies and also contains increased coverage of Tenancy Deposit Schemes, Human Rights Act challenges and disability discrimination.

Very much a practical guide, this title makes frequent use of examples, checklists, forms and precedents, and is specifically designed to assist the busy professional and student. A Practical Approach to Landlord and Tenant is an indispensable resource for those working in this field.
