On the cover this book is pitched mainly at law students or housing advisors, however I would also recommend it to people letting property in the UK, whether on a small or larger scale, and to those owning leaseheld property.
If you have your money tied up in property investment, but are not a whizz on landlord and tenant law and so are 'seeking a concise guide to this complex area of the law' then this is a good book to buy. The text is not written as an 'easy peasy consumer guide', as there are other books covering that angle - this is a serious and detailed legal study which begins right at the beginning with the first elements of landlord and tenant law, such as what a tenancy is.
If you are landlord or leaseholder intending to visit a solicitor for advice, then it will save you both time and money to consult this book with your questions beforehand. The index is good and will direct you to relevant sections. Then you can turn up at the solicitor's office prepared with a basic but clear understanding of the issues, making your solicitor's life easier and your appointment far more constructive.
This book sets out the points of landlord and tenant law in a specific and ordered manner, plus it also communicates the concepts behind the laws - giving the reader an excellent overview.
