Language: English Series: Solicitors' Journal ; 149(18) 6 May 2005, 530(1) | Commercial Leases ; 19(5) May 2005, 985-986 (2)Publication details: 2005Subject(s): Summary: Both articles examine the recent judgment "Amrit Holdings Company Limited v Shahbakhti" ([2005] EWCA Civ 339, [2005] L&TR 18) concerning residential possession by a landlord where suitable alternative accommodation was available for the tenant. In "Buy-to-let: bad bet", William Geldart warns that periodic tenants who invest in buy-to-let properties may be putting their own homes at risk and that the problem may become more acute in 2006 when it becomes possible to hold residential property in some pension plans. In "Residential possession - landlord's case for suitable alternative accommodation" the author states that the Court of Appeal does not often review the circumstances in which a landlord may recover possession of residential premises and concludes that it remains difficult for landlords to recover premises from statutory tenants and with 'reside' as opposed to 'principle residence' remaining a high test for landlords to meet.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Barcode | |
