12/01/10: Your Title is Only as Good as Your Landlords
Prospective tenants frequently ask why they should go to the trouble and expense of investigating their landlord's title to the property to be let. A recent case has graphically demonstrated the need to do so when the court decided that a 20 year lease was invalid because the landlord did not actually own the let premises.
