Synopsis
Tenant default in an area of major concern to landlords and their professional advisers. The cross over of landlord and tenant law and the process of debt collection brings to the fore a series of practical and legal problems for the professional. Once the tell-tale signs are there - non-payment of rent of a service charge, failure to repair, breach of user covenants or insolvency - prompt action is needed. This book was written to bring together in an easy to use and practical format the materials necessary to effect that action. Succinct and well laid-out chapters provide self-contained explanations of the options available and advice on how to proceed. Well-drafted Precedents are provided. Changes since the third edition: changes such as new Part 55 and cases under the Civil Procedure Rules and their accompanying Practice Direction have affected tenant default actions. This edition also takes into account the impact of the 1954 Act reforms, as well as taking into account other new law such as new insolvency legislation under the Insolvency Act 2000 and Enterprise Act 2002.Readership: Solicitors, surveyors, local authority officers and all others involved in the construction or management of property will find the work invaluable. Accessible and user-friendly, this guide will be referred to heavily in personal, public and professional libraries.
