Dear <<First Name>>,

Welcome to the April edition of Landlord and Tenant E-lert
 
The issues in this month’s articles are:
 
Article 1: What does a clause which requires a tenant to reimburse its landlord for gas and electricity at “prevailing commercial rates” actually mean?
 
Article 2: Where is the dividing line between a lease which lawfully shifts liability for empty business rates and a lease which is just a sham arrangement for the same purpose?
 
Article 3: What issues will the Upper Tribunal consider when deciding on whether or not to vary a restrictive covenant?  
 
Article 4: The importance for land owners to promptly take steps to stop unauthorised use of their land.
 
I hope that you find these articles helpful
 
Best regards
 
Rex
