Course description
Forfeiture for non-payment of rent can be the quickest, cheapest and most effective means of securing payment of rent arrears and reinforcing financial discipline for the future. But unless done correctly it carries with it risks of criminal liability for the landlord, and an invalid forfeiture may lead to a damages claim for unlawful eviction.
It is necessary to understand the pitfalls and the best practice. While it is an ancient area of law, there are still plenty of areas of uncertainty, and the courts continue to decide cases which throw further light on the topic.
This webinar with property litigation specialist Mark Shelton identifies the key practical matters with the benefit of the most recent cases.
