Author Description

This Manual is designed to give apprentice solicitors a clear and thorough understanding of practice in this field. It will familiarise apprentices with the procedures involved in landlord and tenant law and on how to properly advise both clients. It deals with residential letting agreements as well as both long and short term commercial leases. This new edition has been fully revised and updated throughout in the light of new case law, legislation, and the report of the Commission on the Private Residential Sector (July 2000). A number of new precedents have also been included. It also examines the rights of tenants in formerly 'controlled' dwellings. Published in conjunction with the Law Society of Ireland, the titles in this innovative series provide a unique guide to the law, practice, and procedure in Ireland. Each title provides a clear overview of its subject, focusing on the practical issues that confront lawyers on an everyday basis. Written by acknowledged experts in their fields, the Manuals provide detailed analysis of recent cases and legislation, highlight key issues in practice, and set out specimen forms and precedents. The Manuals are essential reading for apprentices studying on the Law Society of Ireland's Professional Practice Course. They will also be indispensable to any Irish practitioner requiring a practical, user-friendly and jargon-free treatment of key practice areas.
