Proposed reforms

Article Abstract:

It seems likely that proposals issued in 1992 by the Law Commission for amendments to the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, Part II, will be implemented shortly. The Commission's main recommendation is that, while an exclusion agreement should still be included in or endorsed on the lease or tenancy agreement, there will not be a requirement to get a court order. In the area of renewal applications, the Commission proposes that either party should be permitted to apply to the court to order the grant of a new lease.

Unattainable reality

Article Abstract:

The 'unattainable reality' for rents, an element contained in many leases, is being used by landlords to prevent tenants making claims for discounts. Rent review clauses use a concept involving a notional tenant bidding for a notional lease, and this allows the landlord's solicitor to include provisions which will make the notional lease much more attractive to the notional tenant than is the case in reality. In effect, the benefit of the notional rent review provisions will always be unattainable.
