Housing Law Fundamentals: an Introduction to the Lease-Licence Distinction

Housing Law Fundamentals: an Introduction to the Lease-Licence Distinction

What is it that makes something a lease rather than a licence?

How do you go about identifying the distinction?

Is the label on the document all you need to consider? 

In this introductory webinar, Mathew McDermott and Alex Bailey discuss these – and other – questions that form the cornerstone of landlord and tenant law: the difference between a lease and a licence.   

If you would like our team to cover any other particular topics, please do not hesitate to contact us.
