Expired leases, joint tenants and insolvency.
Hugall, J.
Expired leases, joint tenants and insolvency. - 1999 - Solicitors' Journal 143(34) 10 September 1999, 836-837(2) .
Considers De Rothschild v Bell in which aspects of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 part 1 were at issue. It was held that when a contractual tenancy is held by joint tenants, but only one of them is resident when the tenancy expires, that tenant is entitled to protection under the act. However this Part 1 continuation tenancy was described as being hybrid: 'not a new tenancy or a statutory tenancy; it is merely the old contractual tenancy continued indefinitely by the act'.
