With forfeiture back on the menu from April 2022, landlords and their advisors need to know how to use it. The logic that if the tenant does not perform the landlord can take the property back continues to have a clear appeal. Forfeiture may be seen as the opportunity to remove the awkward tenant, or it may be the most effective sanction to enforce performance of tenant’s obligations. However, it is an area of law which can be archaic in certain respects, and confusing and technical in others.
