When a landlord terminates a lease prematurely, both the landlord and the tenant enter a legal minefield of complex and inconsistent rules - a dangerous zone created by the piecemeal development of tenancy laws. Forfeiture of Tenancies provides a clear and practical explanation of the rules and restrictions governing the rights and obligations of landlords and tenants. It explains the key points of the law and takes the reader through each stage of the
process, considering:
forfeiture clauses, legal forms and notice periods
exemptions and special requirements for different types of tenancy
how to affect re-entry to a property
how to avoid forfeiture
enforcement and appeals
Importantly, the book takes account of the changes to the conduct of possession proceedings brought about by the new Civil Procedure Rules.
