Dear <<First Name>>,
 

Welcome to the September edition of Landlord and Tenant E-lert
 
The issues in this month’s articles are:
 
Article 1: If a party is required to erect a building under a contract, does ownership of the building stay with that party?
 
Article 2: Can an easement be claimed if use of a right of way is routine and occasional, but not frequent?
 
Article 3: Are superior landlords liable for Rent Repayment Orders, or is it just immediate landlords who are in the firing line?
 
Article 4: Can a summary judgment application succeed in enforcing a sale and purchase contract?

I hope that you find these articles helpful
 
Best regards
