Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The article suggests that since, out of the three requirements for the existence of a tenancy identified in Street v Mountfound [1985] AC 809, only exclusive possession actually determines whether an occupier is a tenant, the traditional distinctions between personal tenancies, contractual licences and tenancies at will should be dropped in favour of a simplified structure of personal or proprietary occupational rights.
