Product description
Why should you buy Butterworths Residential Landlord and Tenant Handbook
"Sets out in immediately accessible form the essential content required by practitioners... who can be confident that the materials are there because they are relevant 鈥 [it] can materially reduce the time taken by a practitioner with limited experience in the area to find the correct sources and to identify the key questions... for experienced practitioners, the Handbook tends to turn into a well-thumbed and heavily marked-up resource..."
