The end of tolerated trespassers delayed a bit.

News just in – the government has announced that the date for the implementation of s.299 H&R Act 2008 – which brings in ‘replacement’ tenancies has been delayed from 6 April 2009, when we thought it was going to happen, to ‘early May’. This is apparently so that the Order on successor landlords can be scrutinised by Parliament and come into force at the same time. More detail on the successor landlords order and implementation dates to follow as and when.… Read the full post

Dead and gone

The mopping up of the tail end of tolerated trespasser cases continues.

Barry Austin v LB Southwark [2008] EWCA Civ 66 was the Court of Appeal hearing of the appeal from the High Court hearing we noted earlier.

The issue at stake was whether Mr Austin would have a right to apply under s.85 HA 1985 to vary the possession order made against his late brother Alan in 1987, so as to revive the tenancy, by way of application to the Court under CPR 19.8 to represent his late brother’s estate in the possession proceedings.

Starting on Monday

A big week for housing law next week. The House of Lords is hearing Knowsley Housing Trust v White [2007] EWCA Civ 404 (tolerated trespassers and assured tenancies in the context of a preserved Right to Buy) Porter v Shepherds Bush Housing Association [2008] EWCA Civ 196 (do assured tenancies give rise to tolerated trespassers at all) and Honeygan-Green v LB Islington [2008] EWCA Civ 363 (the revival of the Right to Buy with the revivial of a secure tenancy and the relevance of previous steps in the RTB process).

However, despite granting permission to appeal in the case of London & Quadrant Housing Trust v Ansel [2007] EWCA Civ … Read the full post
