Introduction
When a tenant is in difficulties paying the rent and other sums, the landlord’s ability to turn to other parties is crucial. It may be a former tenant that remains liable, or perhaps their guarantor, or a parent company or director and shareholder who has given a guarantee. However, this is not always straightforward.
As regards former tenants, but more particularly their guarantors, the courts still continue to grapple with the interpretation of the Landlord and Tenant (Covenants) Act 1995. More generally, recourse against guarantors can be vulnerable to insolvency procedures, and challenge on other grounds such as lease variations and even undue influence. Recent caselaw continues to develop the understanding of these areas.
