Course Details
Landlord and tenant disputes are common in Hong Kong. Although security of tenure has been abolished, the law governing other aspects of the L&T relationship can be unexpectedly complicated with pitfalls for the unwary. This workshop will delve into different areas of L&T and help practitioners, property managers, estate agents, landlords and tenants to get to grips with how the law applies in practice.
 
Areas to be examined include:

  • Terms of tenancy agreements
  • Rent and related issues:
    • Withholding rent
    • Set-off against rent
    • Forfeiture of deposits where rent unpaid
    • Distress for rent
  • Forfeiture of tenancy and action for possession
  • Breach of covenant, repudiation and damages
  • Statements of claim
