Defects, disrepair and the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985
Sydenham, Angela
Defects, disrepair and the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 - 2005 - EMIS Property Service 3(10) October 2005,13-15(3 .
Considers the one exception to the general rule that landlords are only obliged to repair and maintain their buildings if they have expressly covenanted to do so: the statutory obligation in the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 ss11-12. Discusses the duty to repair. Examines the application of the exception in s11(3) of the Act in "Montoya v Hackney LBC" (unreported, 15 July 2005), a case which illustrates the difficulty of distinguishing between those defects coming within the landlord's liability and those coming within the exception.
