Case Law

This section contains posts about or commenting on significant legal cases in landlord & tenant law.

These are all posts which discuss legal cases decided by Judges which will affect landlords and others in the Private Rented Sector.

Hopefully in a non-legalistic style that you can understand! Some of them are written by Tessa and some by barristers and solicitors.

Please, when reading, always check the date of the post. Be aware that you need to be very careful about reading older posts as the law may have changed since they were written.
