Dear <<First Name>>,
 

Welcome to the August edition of Landlord and Tenant E-lert
 
The issues in this month’s articles are:
 
Article 1: When a tenant is required to deliver vacant possession at the end of the lease - what does this mean in practical terms?
 
Article 2: When will a court intervene to amend a contractual provision in a lease?
 
Article 3: What issues will the Tribunal consider when looking at whether to release a restrictive covenant to allow residential development on a golf course?
 
Article 4: How does the court square the strict requirements to protect tenancy deposits against the modern flat and house share arrangements which exist today?
 
I hope that you find these articles helpful
 
Best regards
