Landlord & Tenant Law

Landlord & Tenant Law

Rent matters involve both Commercial and Residential  leases that result in Landlord & Tenant relationships. We have had the privilege to handle large Scale Farming leases as well which create the Landlord & Tenant Relationship but which do not strictly fall under the existing Landlord & Tenant legislation but amount to sub-leases under the existing land laws.

The Firm has handled briefs both under The Landlord and Tenant (Shops, Hotels and Catering Establishments) Act and The Rent Restriction Act. The former Act deals with Commercial premises while the latter deals with Residential. The Tribunals handle matters arising under both Acts.

There are,however, other landlord and Tenant relationships that do not end up before the Tribunals. Such disputes are filed before the Regular Courts for determination.
