A healthcare company intends to rent a residential property for permitted officers or employees to occupy, on a weekly rota basis. However, an individual who is neither an officer nor an employee of the company (but is a person who will be cared for by the officers or employees) will live at the property, together with the officers or employees who are ‘on duty’. What will be the status of the individual occupier and the employees or officers if the (non-AST) tenancy agreement is terminated?
Q&As
Does CPR PD 51ZA, which provides for parties to agree an extension of time for 56 days, apply to agreements to extend time for service of the defence? The practice direction does not make any reference to CPR 15.5.
Q&As
I am making an application which needs to be made promptly under the CPR rules.  What options are available to me if I cannot get the supporting evidence together due to coronavirus (COVID-19). Should I still file the application notice despite not having any supporting witness evidence?
Q&As
While a business tenancy continues under section 24 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, in circumstances in which the parties have not agreed an interim rent, and no application has been issued, does this mean that no rent is contractually payable pending an application/agreement or does the obligation to pay rent continue under the original lease?
