Description


The Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 is by far the most important piece of legislation affecting premises occupied for business purposes. A good understanding of the workings of the Act is vital for anyone advising landlords or tenants of business premises.

The authors of this guide are both experienced barristers with expertise in the field. Their aim has been to produce a comprehensive, one-stop-shop, practical guide to the 1954 Act and associated areas of practice covering (amongst other topics):

  • When the Act applies
  • How to contract out of the Act
  • How claims for a new tenancy (or termination) are brought, together with detailed guidance as to the court procedures required by the Civil Procedure Rules
  • Detailed practical guidance to all the grounds on which a landlord may seek to resist a claim for a new tenancy, with treatment of recent case law and
  • Guidance as to the technical area of claims for an interim rent
  • Notices under the Act and guidance in relation to service
  • The terms of a new tenancy
  • Claims for compensation for improvements under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1927
  • Dilapidations
  • Termination at common law

This guide is likely to be an invaluable guide for solicitors, barristers or surveyors working in this area.
