Details

This popular textbook, now more than 30 years’ old, continues to be addressed to all those with an interest in landlord and tenant matters: laymen as well as lawyers and land professionals. The aim as before is to summarise the law with as much accuracy as is consistent with being intelligible to a wider audience.

For this edition, revisions have been made to parts of the text concerning oral agreements, short leases, registration of tenancy agreements, rental levels, the term of the lease, exemption clauses, the tenant’s representative on management committees, repairs, relief against forfeiture, vacant possession and damages. Numerous recent court decisions are referred to.

The book explains the law in simple and lucid fashion. Areas of practical importance are emphasised, ensuring that the text is of particular relevance for legal practitioners.
