Article Abstract:
Relations between landlords and tenants may be complicated by the question of subleases. In principle these end when the main lease ends. There are a number of exceptions where the general rule is disregarded and these include Pennel v Payne relating to agricultural land. There are different types of tenancy and a lease may permit tenants to sublet, in which case the landlord finds himself in a different position with regard to subtenancies thus created.

Article Abstract:
Original tenants are responsible for the duration of the tenancy despite having transferred a lease to another party. This creates legal complexities when assignees have agreed to changes in the lease. Major changes do not necessarily lead to a regrant and deemed surrender, according to a decision by the UK Court of Appeal. This decision was made in 1995 in a case involving British Railways Board and Friends' Provident Life Office which emphasises the small number of circumstances under which a deemed surrender is accepted in law.
