Everything you need to know about lease extensions
What is a lease?
A lease is a long-term contractual agreement between two parties over a property or item. Residential leases are the most common type of lease currently used in the United Kingdom (UK), as they are used on rented properties such as flats. An initial time frame for a residential lease will be between 99 and 125 years, but if a lease happens to end without a notice of renewal being filed the interest in the flat will automatically revert back to the freeholder. The ultimate consequence is that you would have no lease to extend or sell should you wish to move on from the property in the future.
Difference between freehold and leasehold
Leasehold agreements take the form of a long-term tenancy that has been agreed upon by a perspective (or current tenant) and freeholder. While a leasehold agreement is in place you will have the right to live in and have uninterrupted use of the premises. However, a lease does not constitute ownership and eventually it will expire. As a leasehold heads towards its final years a tenant will have the choice to either serve a notice of extension or let the property revert back to the freeholder. In most circumstances the leaseholder will be required to pay rent to the freeholder in order to remain living in the premises. Service charges will also be a feature of most leasehold agreements; the freeholder, to cover maintenance on the premises if and when it’s deemed necessary, will use such fees. UK based flats, apartments and occasionally houses will utilise leasehold agreements when said property has a freeholder.

A freehold covenant is a promise or an obligation made by a land owner to another regarding the use of the land. It is a type of contract within the doctrine of privity and usually the rights and obligations it creates normally bind those that are contracted to it and no one else. A covenant is usually made by deed. A “restrictive covenant” to which the doctrine of (Tulk v Moxhay)1 applies does not need to be created by a deed; it can include “a mere agreement and no covenant”. They are used to preserve some rights of enjoyment or to keep a building or a particular group of buildings to be preserved and kept in a particular way, for example, no erected satellite dishes or fences around the front of the building.
The case of Sara Montague et al., Plaintiffs and Appellants, v. AMN Healthcare, INC., Defendant and Respondent, was taken up and decided in the appellate court. The case was first granted a standard review of a summary judgment, which failed, the plaintiff then appealed this motion. After the appeal it then went to court to be heard in a normal trial. Just to be a bit more precise, it was heard and decided as case No. D063385. in the Court of Appeals of California, Fourth District, Division One, on the 21st of February in 2014. In this court case, representing Sara Montague, the plaintiff and appellant, was the law office of
It is often conceptualized that property is the rights of 'ownership'. In common law property is divided into real property, which is the interests in land and improvements there, and personal property, which are interests in anything other than real property. Personal property is divided into tangible property (such as a bike, car and clothse), and intangible property (such as bonds and stocks), which also includes intellectual property (copyrights, trademarks etc). The modern property rights conceive of possession and ownership as belonging to legal individuals, even if the individual is not a real person. Hence, governments, corporations and other collective forms of ownership are shown in terms of individual ownership.

Making a good and persuasive argument is very much an acquired skill. It requires much practice and perfecting. It takes more than just having passion and making good points. Just because a person is passionate about the topic or has supporting details does not mean they can make a successful argument. Much more thought and skill is required. Gordon Adams, in his letter to the Arizona State University standards committee, demonstrates this quite well. Gordon Adams writes a passionate argument, yet his argument lacks several critical aspects.
Owners of real, intellectual and personal property each have the same rights under the law, whether it is a physical entity or a non-physical entity. “Ownership of real property is typically complicated than that of the personal or intellectual property since the law provides for different forms of ownership, which carry different rights (Roger, 2012). First, real property is regulated by federal and state statutes as well as common law. For example, a fee simple individual that has

Proceedings in appellate courts are very different from those in trial courts. Trial courts are courts in which witnesses are heard, exhibits are offered into evidence, and a verdict (in a jury trial) or a decision (when a case tried by a judge alone) is reached based on the facts presented in the case. A trial court has only one judge, appellate courts, with the exception of state supreme courts and the U.S. Supreme Court, have three. Most legal disputes involving state law are initially decided in the trial courts or by an administrative agency. But after such a decision, an individual may usually turn to the state’s appeal courts if he or she believes a legal error occurred that harmed the case (uscourts.gov, 23).
As we went through the apartment, I saw some things either needed to be fixed or replaced. At the end of the tour, I started the conversation about the rent. He was adamant that the rent should be $400 per person for 4 BHK apartment. I demanded the rent be lowered to $350 per month and demanded that the Wi-Fi be included and new heaters be installed because the current heaters were old and making noise. I Remember from the readings of Getting to Yes, develop options for mutual gain, I was looking for a two-year lease, coincidently, my land lord was looking for tenants who could sign a two-year lease instead of one, so I decided to sign the two-year deal, if he lowered the rent which was agreed at $370 per month including the Wi-Fi bill plus the heaters being replaced by new ones. By creating this win-win situation, both of us agreed on the terms and concluded the
