Practical Law UK Practice Note 9-501-5855 (Approx. 25 pages)
Statutory and contractual ways to release a landlord from landlord covenants
A landlord under a new tenancy remains bound by landlord covenants following a transfer of its reversionary interest. There is no automatic release. The landlord may be released from liability by the tenant by negotiating an express release or a contractual obligation to release (Avonridge clauses), or by using the statutory procedure under the Landlord and Tenant (Covenants) Act 1995.
This practice note looks at these methods for release, including the statutory procedures, and provides links to clauses that can be used to secure a release.
