Property
Landlord and Tenant jurisdictions not requiring actual possession
A
(Scenario)The landlord granted the legal right of possession to the tenant, which means that neither the landlord nor anyone holding of the landlord prevented the tenant from going into possession at the commencement of the lease term. The previous tenant’s lease term had ended before the new lease term began. The previous tenant then became a trespasser and was not holding of the landlord. The court found for the landlord, and thus there is no rule in this jurisdiction that the landlord need also put the tenant into actual possession.
