GETTING LANDLORD'S CONSENT UNDER THE NEW LAW‐A PARTIAL REFORM: PART 1

Abstract

New legislation has recently come into force which should make it easier and quicker to get consent to transfer a lease or to underlet leasehold property. This month we will review the existing law about obtaining the landlord's consent not only to transfers but also to such things as making alterations and the delays and problems which may be met. We shall look at how the Law Commission proposed to ease those difficulties, note that, unfortunately but nevertheless usefully, reform has been restricted to improvements aimed at speeding up consent to transfers of leases and, finally, set out some practical advice to follow.
