With numerous precedents, complete leases or agreements and specimen clauses, this book aims to provide a comprehensive guide to drafting leases set against the background of relevant landlord and tenant law. Topics covered include terms of the lease; premises, easements and ancillary rights; rent and rate increases; service charges and insurance; rates, taxes and VAT. Drafting techniques are also considered and precedents cited including Street V Mountford. The purpose and effect of each different type of individual clause and tenancy are set out, and any problems associated with them are highlighted. This edition has been revised to take into account the many important case decisions and enacted legislation since the first edition in 1984. For instance it takes account of the changes resulting from the Housing Act 1988, including the various forms of assured tenancy and of the the Landord and Tenant Act 1988 and the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988. In addition, it covers the effect of the Community Charge, VAT, information to tenants, and the difficulties that may arise from letting to particular groups of tenants (eg students, employees, letting retirement homes).
