This work is designed for quick and easy reference and deals with the law and procedure of private residential tenancies. It covers procedure such as obtaining possession of premises, applying for a fair rent, granting tenancies or bringing on action for arrears of rent. It is intended primarily for the use of solicitors, estate agents and surveyors and includes checklists on advising the client, whether landlord or tenant, on the grant or termination of a tenancy as well as precedents for use in court proceedings, such as originating applications for possession. It considers how the position of the tenant has changed under the Rent Act 1977 and the Housing Act 1988 and looks at the practical application of the scheme of tenure security and limited rent control as set out in the Housing Act 1988. It also focuses on such problems as a landlord letting out property whilst abroad, how to prevent a landlord from raising the rent, and restricted contracts. The author also wrote "Resident Landlords And Owner Occupiers: Law and Practice".
