520			_aDiscusses how leasehold enfranchisement has become easier since the abolition of the residency test by the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002 and how this has benefited tenants claiming the right to an extended lease and even investor tenants. Examines the recent case "Maurice and others v Hollow-Ware Products Ltd"([2005] EWHC 815, L130255), where collective enfranchisement of a block of 28 flats was sought but the grant of new leases and the status of the defendant company lessee as qualifying tenant were disputed by the freeholders. The judge held that the defendant had manifestly satisfied the requirements of a qualifying tenant, that the new leases could be substituted for the existing lease only to the extent of the premises covered by the new lease and rents payable could be apportioned following common law principles.
