Bricks, Mortar & Motive - Proving Intention to Redevelop

Introduction

The Law Commission’s interim statement may have quashed the rumours of reform to the grounds of opposition under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, but the impact of the Renters Rights Bill will pose new challenges to landowners seeking possession of mixed-use property in order to redevelop.

This virtual classroom seminar will consider recent case law around landlord’s intention under grounds (f) and (g), the potential impact of the abolition of section 21 notices, and best practice for preparing redevelopment strategies.

What You Will Learn

This live and interactive course will cover the following:

• An overview of the statutory right to oppose renewal on redevelopment grounds
• Key case law concerning the landlord’s intention test, and what constitutes a ‘firm and settled’ intention to redevelop
• Tenant counterarguments and rights under the 1954 Act
• Renters Rights Bill - changes to the landlord’s ability to obtain possession of residential property
• Coordinating redevelopment with compliance with residential requirements (e.g. certificates)
• Best practice for preparing redevelopment strategies, including redevelopment breaks
