No right to remain in the rented premises

This decision provides important insight into your property law. Here is what it changes for you.

The situation

At the expiry of the lease, the occupier of land whose essential purpose is sporting, by reason of the tennis courts located on it and the ancillary nature of the caretaker's lodge situated in a corner of the land, has no right to remain in the rented premises, since the letting in question does not primarily concern residential premises or premises used for professional purposes.

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Key takeaways

• Strictly comply with statutory time limits for appeals
• Keep all supporting documents (title deeds, instruments, correspondence)
• Anticipate: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
