A conveyancing nightmare
Article Abstract:
Changes to the Council of Mortgage Lenders Handbook for England and Wales which came into effect on Oct 1, 1999, indicate that, where a management company must maintain or repair a property or grounds, it should have an estate in the land and the members of the company should be the tenants. If this is not the case, a covenant by the landlord should exist to undertake these obligations if the management company does not do so. These changes raise a number of issues, including what constitutes a failure to repair and how the freeholder can recover costs.

In Re Debtors Nos 13A10 and 14A10 of 1994
Article Abstract:
A UK case involving landlord and tenant law related to a landlord's right to forefiet lease. The landlords had granted a 25 year lease for business premises and there was a forfeiture clause in the lease. Rent was not paid for two quarters and the landlords sought to recover the arrears. The landlord re-entered the property and a county court and appeal court backed the landlords' claim to right to forfeit despite a demand for rent after it had not been paid.
