In Steele and another v McMahon and another , CA 23 May 1990, it was held that the balance of the premium did fall within one of the exceptions to Rent Act 1977 s120 , The exception concerned any expenditure incurred by the assignor in carrying out alterations or providing fixtures. The plaintiffs contention that the expenditure was incurred before the assignors became tenants by the grant of the lease and therefore the exception did not apply was wrong. It was necessary that the expenditure had to be incurred by the assignors only after they became tenants.
