Landlord and Tenant Law

This is an area of law which deals with the rights and obligations of landlords and tenants. There are many different laws and rules. The rules for residential tenancies can be very different from those for commercial tenancies. For example the landlord of an assured shorthold tenant under the Housing Act 1988 will have the duty to keep in repair the structure of a property without the tenant paying a service charge whereas in the business sector the tenant will normally pay towards the landlords costs of repairing the premises.
