Changing a Tenancy Mid Term

An excellent article in the Financial Times money section September 13/14, 2014 by Adam Palin (ft.com) highlights a common problem, and the article is well worth reading.

Just because the ownership of a property changes hands, the tenant cannot be made to accept further burdens without a new agreement.

Indeed sometimes if a new owner/landlord insists on this, the tenant can turn it to his advantage by getting out, if the change is serious enough to be called a “repudiatory breach”.

Expert advice at an early stage is essential.
