Introduction
In this assignment I will be discussing The Right to Manage under Leasehold and Common-hold under the Common-hold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002.
RTM – With this section I will be analysing why Right to Manage was created and what were its objectives and purposes, I will also be reviewing whether there are any benefits to the landlord or tenants and discuss qualifying premises and tenants. I will and be looking at the RTM company, tenants that may not qualify and long leases along with detailing the associated issues.
Common-hold – Within this section I will be discussing the term Common-hold and what it entails and how it differs to leasehold. The terms ‘Community Scheme’ and ‘Community Statement’ will be researched to establish what their purpose is and how they are formatted. The content and purpose of The Common-hold Regulations 2004 will be summarised and reviewed.
This assignment will be completed with a conclusion which will review the findings of the research that has been undertaken.
Leasehold - Right to Manage (RTM)
Leasehold allows you to own a property for a fixed period of time, this will be agreed legally with the landlord who is also known as the lessor, this is commonly known as the ‘lease’ of a property. Completion of the lease will result in the ownership of the property being returned to the landlord; generally the majority of flats are leasehold and also some houses too, although the RTM is only applicable to the
In response to the question set, I will go into detail of the study, consisting of the background, main hypotheses, as well the aims, procedure and results gathered from the study; explaining the four research methods chosen to investigate,
“Any dealing with the whole of the property requires the involvement of all the co-owners. We have seen that there is a general principle that it is impossible to give a greater right than you have yourself … nemo dat quod non habet” .
Michigan residents purchase condominiums with the expectation that the condominium documents will be enforced equally against all co-owners as a means to increase property values and preserve the aesthetic character of the community. If the board of directors of a condominium association cannot enforce the restrictions contained
The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and whether the arrangement
4. How might the ED’s proposed lessor accounting influence, if at all, the lessor’s preferences for particular lease provisions in the BonneSante leases?
This entitles the owner to have full ownership of the land for disposal without limitation of selling or gifting, and if the owner dies it will become part of their estate. Although this type of ownership is unrestricted there are also certain obligations that need to be followed including general neighbouring commitments such as not interfering with neighbouring allotments and not creating nuisance, the Crown Grant have all reserved rights in possessing the land, restrictions of the land in use may be effected by expressed terms stated in the contract such as a restrictive covenant and restrictions through future planning and legislations may subside.
Australian Residential Tenancies Act 1997 details every aspect of landlord tenant relation and lease agreement for caravan park site owners. When we study the situation in case study closely, we notice that in both cases, the tenants may have to involve the court since their situation is tricky and can be better decided by a court dealing with civil matters.
As a property-owner, you have certain responsibilities, which are derived from property rental laws as well as from any arrangement whether it was
Residential Tenancies Act 1997 Section 26 Residential Tenancies Regulations 2008 - Schedule 1 Form 1
In Lewisham Borough Council v Roberts[10], a case concerning delegation of power of requisition, Lord Denning affirmed that the Council ”cannot grant a lease or create any legal interest in the land…because it has itself no estate in the land out of which to carve any interest.” More recently, Neuberger J. in Re Friends Provident Life Office[11] reassured “a lease involves not only a contract, but also an estate in land”[12]. Therefore, the traditional concepts are long-standing principle and the possibility of leases existing merely in contractual nature and granting “tenant” merely contractual rights are denied by courts.
With the introduction of the Assured Short hold Tenancy (AST) in the Housing Act 1988, granted the landlord the right to guaranteed possession after the initial six month period, in other words giving landlords stronger rights. The Housing Act 1996 furthered strengthened a landlord’s position by making AST the default tenancy except expressed. The Act defines several criteria for an AST to be set up e.g. the property must be set as separate accommodation, the property must be the tenant’s main home, the tenant should be an individual, thus there are uncertainties that the AST’s lack of security creates long-term problems for tenants. Therefore a landlord may choose to evict the
Real Property Act 1886 (SA) ss119 and ss119A, state that a lease for less than one year does not need to be registered and that the registered owners title (Charlie) will be subject to the tenants interests, meaning that a lease (less than a year) is an exception (s. 69(h)) to indefeasibility under the Real Property Act but after the 12 months Charlie can take possession of the house by terminating the lease, which ends anyway, he has a reversion subject to the lease. Also as the lease is not registered the right to renew after 12 months is not protected in any case under the act. The lease is a legal interest even though it is not registered.
Held: the reduction of privacy was not within the scope of this covenant. It was held that there was no breach because it did not prevent the use of the premises as residential flats.
The Land Registration Act (LRA) 1925 has drawn much flak over the years with regards to one of its most important provisions on overriding interests (OI), which often goes unnoticed until it swoops up and takes priority over the rights of a future purchaser. These interests often come in the form of other occupiers in the property with an equitable interest and, like in the case of Boland , this leaves the lender in a tight spot when they find out about the existence of these interests only after they have initiate proceedings for possession against the defaulting borrowers. Due to the other occupier’s concealed nature on the property register, the lenders have regained their footing by applying the concept of overreaching and ….. The Law Commission, on the other hand, contemplated abolishing these interest altogether but did not go to that extent because it was neither feasible nor desirable Instead, they shrank their impact on land by reforming the operation and scope of the OI. With LRA 2002 sch 3 para 2, lenders now have more control over what may bite them. …. This essay will access…. with a focus on how the lending world have dealt with the implications of Boland…. The best way to access the impact of … would be to go through the pre – post blabla to show how the thing has balanced.
In operating lease, the fundamental rights and responsibilities of ownership are retained by the lessor. The lessor transfers only the right to use the property to the lessee. At the end of the lease period, the lessee returns the property to the lessor. The lessee does not assume any risk of ownership. Thus, operating lease does not affect the balance sheet. The lease expenses are treated as operating expenses in income statement.
