A tenant can have the right to be granted a lease even if it took up the property without the landlord's agreement and was consistently late in paying the rent. In 1997 a cash-and-carry business man (N) moved into retail premises owned by M, but did not take out a formal lease, although he did pay rent. In 2002, M suggested new terms for a 21-year lease if N carried out repairs. A dispute arose around what works had been completed at the tenant's expense and whether the landlord could repossess. In the initial hearing, the judge ordered that N be granted a tenancy, despite his late payment of rent. Held: appeal denied. The Court of Appeal agreed with the first court judge that the tenant could not be evicted and was entitled to a 21-year lease, in spite of his poor payment record.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Barcode | |
