Tenant wins by default

Tenant wins by default - 2002 - Estates Gazette (0206) 9 February 2002, 151(1) .

Examines the issue of landlords opposing lease renewal based upon tenant default with reference to "Hazel v Akhtar"(2002). The previous agent's relaxed attitude towards late rent payment meant that this could not be used by the current landlord as a basis for opposing renewal. Advises landlords to issue clear warnings in similar situations.
