Space in the hole

Article Abstract:

Business enterprises may wish to sublet unused space to reduce overheads, but a tenant must draw up a suitable sublease agreement and seek the landlords permission before proceeding. The landlord may wish to increase the rent, and fail to give permission for a sublease if the new conditions have not been met. The principal tenant must ensure that any rents paid by the subtenant are obtained before the headlease rent is due to be paid. Specific arrangements must be made to cover the payment of rates and electricity and the length of the sublease.

Clean-up liability: 'polluter pays' or 'buyer beware'?

Article Abstract:

The DOE's statutory guidance on the contaminated land provisions of the Environment Act 1995 will provide a regime for establishing clean-up liability. Main clean-up liability lays with the person who causes polluting substances to be in the contaminated land, and this has been considered extensively by the courts in relation to water pollution legislation. A purchaser who has not knowledge of the pollutants could also be potentially liable for clean-up costs.
