Rent Control and Leasehold Enfranchisement

In this guide, the author discusses both the rent restriction and the security rules governing the various types of residential tenancy, and the qualifications and procedure for leasehold enfranchisement. Whilst covering the Rent Acts, the Housing Acts of 1980 and 1985 and the Housing Associations Act 1985, this new edition also contains new case law and has been revised to take into account the many changes brought about by the Landlord and Tenant Act 1988 and the Housing Act 1988. It also explain assured tenancies (including assured agricultural tenancies), assured shorthold tenancies and secure tenancies. The work should be of interest to solictors, managing agents, property developers and tenants' associations.
