Considers whether landlords can recover court costs from defaulting tenants. Reports that the tenancy agreement should contain a clause for this to be the case. The sum recoverable is limited to £276.75, regardless of any explicit clauses to the contrary. Also covers the basis for taxation of a landlord's costs. Notes that settled law has yet to cover the requirement for landlords to consult with tenants prior to taking action. Refers to case law, particularly "Church Commissioners for England V Ibrahim and Another" (CA, ABS56506).
