520 _aHighlights issues landlords should take into consideration when leasing property to overseas embassies including diplomatic and state immunity. Warns that landlords do not enjoy the usual protection and benefits of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 when letting to diplomatic tenants. Personal assurances from diplomatic and consular staff carry no guarantee due to individual immunity from prosecution. Looks at the consequences to tenants who sublet property for diplomatic use as they have no legal redress and can put themselves at risk. Investigates whether a landlord can reasonably withhold consent to assign a lease where the assignee has the benefit of state or diplomatic immunity. Does not discuss other risks such as security issues and terrorism threats.
