Frequently asked questions

It's a detailed mind map covering the Landlord and Tenant (Covenants) Act 1995 for new tenancies, including assignment, release of covenants, authorised guarantee agreements, and protections for former tenants.

Under 'T assigns lease', the tenant is released from all covenants and no longer at risk of being sued, but may need to enter an authorised guarantee agreement if the lease contains a covenant against assignment.

An AGA is a guarantee by the assigning tenant that the immediate assignee will perform the tenant covenants. It only applies if the lease has an absolute or qualified covenant against assignment and it's lawful to require it.

The landlord must serve notice requesting release. Release occurs if the tenant agrees, fails to respond, or a court finds refusal unreasonable.

It introduces five new subsections into s19 LTA 1927, applying to qualifying leases (not wholly residential). It allows the landlord to withhold consent in specified circumstances or state conditions, such as requiring an AGA.

Under new tenancies, the former tenant is released from covenants and cannot be sued unless an AGA applies. If a default notice is served within six months, the former tenant may be entitled to an overriding lease.
