Butterworths Residential Landlord and Tenant Handbook, Fifth edition

The Fifth edition of the Butterworths Residential Landlord and Tenant Handbook incorporates major legislative developments which have occurred since the previous edition.

The handbook is an invaluable source of reference for those practitioners, in both the public and private sectors, who deal with such issues as leasehold enfranchisement, the right to buy (and the new right to acquire for tenants of registered social landlords), assured, secure and protected tenancies, disrepair and all other areas of residential landlord and tenant law. Other professionals working in associated fields will also find this publication indispensable, as will academics and students.
