š Understanding Property Rights: Navigating the Complex World of Leases and Licenses
Manage episode 477886648 series 3649260
We explore the critical legal distinctions between leases and licenses, explaining how these differences affect property rights, revocability, and third-party enforcement. This foundational knowledge is essential for understanding landlord-tenant relationships and property occupation rights.
⢠Licenses defined as mere permission to do something on another's land without creating an interest in land
⢠Bare licenses require no consideration and can be revoked with reasonable notice
⢠Contractual licenses involve payment but historically could be revoked at will (Wood v. Leadbitter)
⢠Third-party enforcement of licenses remains limited despite Lord Denning's attempt in Errington v. Errington
⢠Proprietary estoppel may create enforceable rights when substantial reliance exists (Cobb v. Yeoman's Row)
⢠Leases (also called demises) create actual property interests unlike licenses
⢠Key lease terminology includes lessor/lessee, reversion, assignment and subletting
In a later full-length lecture, we'll consider leasehold covenants in greater depth.
