This sixth edition continues to give a concise yet detailed account and analysis of the law of landlord and tenant. It includes discussion of the effects of recent legislation, most notably the Land Registration Act 2002 and the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002, and considers changes in the common law of landlord and tenant, and the likely course of reform. Where relevant, this new edition examines the impact of human rights and also incorporates comparative law elements, whilst maintaining its traditional strengths.
