Q&As
A landlord grants a lease of part of its property (Plot A) with a right of way over its adjoining land (Plot B) and tenant covenants not to obstruct the right of way, make good damage, etc. If the landlord sells Plot B to a third-party buyer, will the buyer have the benefit of the tenant covenants? Ie is this a split reversion for the purposes for the Landlord and Tenant (Covenants) Act 1995 even though the landlord has not assigned any interest in the ‘demised premises’ (Plot A))? If so, does that mean the landlord can no longer serve the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 notices without the new owner of Plot B?
