Property Disrepair and Dilapidations: A Guide to the Law - Softcover

This book explains the allocation of responsibility for repair and dilapidations dealing with both rented and owner-occupied property, and housing as well as commercial premises. As disrepair of property is very common (42% of the dwellings in the private rented sector have been found to be in "poor condition"), and since the law in this area is complex, this book provides a much needed practical guide. Part 1 covers the contractural obligations of landlord and tenant with regard to repair; Part 2 examines the law of tort and its relevance to repair; and Part 3 is concerned with statutory control.
