Product Description

This is an introductory text for students of law and related business and professional courses, and for those practitioners starting out in property management. Summaries, exercises and workshops concluding each chapter help the reader to make sense of a complex area of law. This fully revised fourth edition centres initially on the general law of leases, their contractual nature and the interests and obligations which a lease creates. The second part of the book explores the protection afforded to tenants by statute. This includes residential accommodation, as well as agricultural and business lettings. The Protection from Harassment Act 1997 and other developments are discussed, along with an examination of the consequences of long term legislation implemented in the 1990s, whose effects are only now becoming clear.

Customer Reviews

Excellent
This is an excellent book revision book for Landlord and Tenant Law. It's only 320 pages long but manages to give a good overview of the 'General Law of Leases' (Part I) and then the Statutory Codes (Part II). It was only published in 2006 so is very up to date.

Any student who has studied Landlord and Tenant knows that it is not the most exciting area of law but this book manages to make it very clear and concise. Lecturers will say that it needs to be used in conjunction with other books such as Evans & Smith (which is unreadable) or Garner & Frith (simple but a bit verbose).

In summary, you will probably need a bigger textbook if you are writing essays but for doing problem questions this makes the landlord and tenant much easier.
