Low value repairs claims

Article Abstract:

It is well-known that landlords who grant residential leases of less than seven years are held responsible for any repairs to the structure and outside of the dwelling. Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 mostly applies to housing associations, local authorities and private landlords, most of whom suffer from financial constraints, leading to a high level of low value repair disputes. The argument has been raised that such disputes could be settled under the county court's small claims procedure.

Appropriate appropriation

Article Abstract:

UK legislation relating to landlords and tenants cover debts owed to landlords which original tenants and others such as assignees are reluctant to pay. The guarantors of a tenant of premises in Greek St, London, England, paid a landlord rent for a quarter after the tenant became insolvent. They also paid over 50,000 pounds sterling to be released from obligations. The landlord then sought payment from the guarantors who argued that funds already paid should be offset against funds owed.

Repairs and rent reviews

Article Abstract:

UK legislation with regard to rents and the state of real property is complex. Tenants who are obliged to maintain a building cannot claim for a lower rent because the building has not been repaired by them and is in poor condition. Law courts may recognise what is realistic and practical for tenants, as occurred in the case of Euston Tower, involving Euston Centre Investments and the Secretary of State for the Environment. This involved the removal of asbestos from the building.
