"Bankway Properties Ltd v Dunsford and another", CA 10 April 2001. In February 1994 the defendant tenants were granted an assured tenancy as expressed in written agreement, which contained clause 8(b)(iii) stating rent to be £25,000 from February 1996. When the tenants fell into arrears, the claimant landlord issued proceedings for possession, which was granted. The tenant appealed claiming clause 8(b)(iii) was not a valid provision to increase the rent, but was incorporated to enable the landlord to gain possession under the Housing Act 1988. Held, appeal allowed.
