25 February – 50 Shades of Grey

Tuesday 25 February 2025

It may seem a great idea to put in all your landlord’s requests as special conditions into the lease.

The carpet cleaning clause is the obvious one but there are loads more. This course looks at the 50 most common – and illegal – clauses that are commonly found in lease agreements. How many of the 50 do you have?
