Rent Act 1977 and the absent tenant - Part 1
Brierley, A.H.R.
Rent Act 1977 and the absent tenant - Part 1 - 1991 - Conveyancer & Property Lawyer September/ October 1991, 345-363(10) .
Examines the difficulties which have arisen in the context of the absent tenant. Argues that the strained and unnatural meanings which the courts have given to the qualifying conditions are neither necessary nor justified. Suggests a set of alternative principles which, it is hoped, will enable the courts to reach decisions which accord with fairness and common sense. The essential question for the courts to consider is whether the tenant, not-withstanding his absence, is occupying the premises as his home or residence.
