Abstract

Firstly, with regard to the terms of the original tenant's lease, the lease was for a term of ten years granted in 2001 and includes numerous leasehold covenants. In addition to the express leasehold covenants, the law will imply covenants into a lease , which include the following:

1) Covenant to allow the tenant quiet enjoyment of the property;
2) Covenant not to derogate from grant;
3) Covenant to pay taxes and rates on the property;
4) Covenant to make good waste; and
5) Covenant to keep the interior in good repair .

Such an order under the Housing Act 1996 will generally be granted if the sale of the property is necessary to pay off mortgage loan and the tenant is more than eight-week arrears of rent[15]. [...]

[...] and be expressed to expire on the last day of the period of the tenancy; which date must be no earlier than the tenancy could have been determined at common law[16]. Accordingly, under the section 21 provisions, the sublease landlord would be able to seek possession upon two months written notice to the subtenant, however the sublease would not terminate earlier than the expiry of the two year period agreed.
