Synopsis

The law of landlord and tenant can be a minefield for the unwary. This informative guide - fully updated to reflect leasehold reform and the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999 - puts both parties in the picture. It explains the legal rights on both sides, the financial implications of entering into an agreement and the practicalities of the landlord/tenant relationship. Straightforward explanations help both landlords and tenants to gain a clear understanding of their position and to resolve disputes. The book also covers the rules on tenancies in Scotland and provides sample agreements.
