Prempeh v Lakhany: CA 30 Oct 2020

Possessing Proceedings Notice Not a Rent Demand

The landlord’s notice of proceedings for possession gave the agent’s address, but not that of the landlord. The parties disputed whether it was a demand for rent and its validity.
Held: It was not a demand for rent, and did not require the landlord’s own name and address.
