520 _aConsiders the problems that can arise when adequate definitions of demise, responsibility for repairs, and rights of entry in relation to multi-occupied buildings are not clarified in the wording of a lease. Describes a number of cases, which arose due to silent leases, ambiguity, roofs and floors and overlapping obligations. Concludes that in most cases involving residential apartments it is most appropriate that the landlord have responsibility for external repairs. Provides a useful checklist of issues that should be agreed with the solicitor at the outset.
