Legal law
As per the section 52 of the Land Registration Act 1925, all the document related with
transfer and creating a legal estate must be is written form, which is defined under the law of
property act. Further, as per the Para 1 of schedule 3 of land registration act 2002, legal lease
for a term less than 7 years override registered disposition. Therefore the person can continue
living in the house until the expiration of the lease term1.
Moreover, as per the legal case law of Street v Mountford (1985)2, it was held that lease must
grant exclusive possession of the property for a periodic or the fixed term period. The manner
of right which is granted to lessee plays a very important role in deciding the interest on the
property3. In this case, the agreement which was created between the street and Mountford,
even it is referred as a license, but the court stated that the agreement results in the lease even
if it was called as a license because of the terms and conditions of the defined in the
document.
