Law firm Davitt Jones Bould is hosting a free webinar on ‘The Landlord and Tenant Act 1954: when it applies’ at 2pm on Monday 8 December.
The Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 is the bedrock of commercial leases and is essential for any property professional. In addition, legislation is currently in front of Parliament, which aims to ban upwards-only rent reviews in 1954 act leases.
The webinar, which will be hosted by Richard Snape, Davitt Jones Bould’s head of legal training, aims to look at various situations where the act applies.
Topics covered include:
– The English Devolution Bill and the ban on upwards-only rent reviews;
– Exclusion of the Act including the Court of Appeal case of TFS v Designer Retail Centres;
– Tenancies at will and recent case law;
– Leases and licences and the recent Court of Appeal case of AP Wireless II v On Tower (2025);
– Occupation for business purposes under the Act;
– Recent cases on occupation and subleases; and
– The definition of a business.
