Abstract: Historically, building leases have been responsible for some very enlightened estate management and town planning. They have also been abused by less responsible landlords and have caused much hardship among tenants. This article records some of the good and bad achievements of ground landlords and then attempts to analyse which elements of the leasehold relationship are worthy of preservation. Some ways are then suggested in which the balance of rights and obligations and the nature of the tenant's interest might be amended to make leaseholds more acceptable to tenants.
