Forfeiture is a contractual right under the lease which is a right preserved under Section 24 (2) of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954. Landlords need to be careful when demanding or accepting rent when they become aware of a breach of a term. If a landlord wants to forfeit as a result of a breach (and they have the right to forfeit as is provided for in their lease) and there is rent due, they should not demand or accept rent accruing beyond the date they become aware of the breach, as this would likely amount to a waiver. Under section 146 notice under the Law of Property Act (LPA) 1925 to indicate an intention to forfeit the lease the landlords need to be careful when demanding or accepting rent when they become aware of a breach of a term. This article will consider the process of forfeiture in English law and the consequences of waiver by the landlord of breach of term in the lease.

The question as to whether the buyer of immovable property should still be able to receive the ownership of the property in case the seller goes bankrupt prior to conveyance, has sparked academic debate in many jurisdictions. In the context of immovable property, many scholars feel it is justified to provide additional protective measures in favour of the buyer and hence provide buyers with some sort of proprietary interest, prior to conveyance. But exactly which circumstances justify these protective measures under current law? And what is the most desirable way to protect the buyer in terms of scope of application and effect? This article will answer these questions on the basis of a newly-developed theoretical framework.

Technology is being widely adopted in Construction and Real Estate sector these days. Pandemic has made technology exigent in every walk of life and Real Estate sector is no exception to this paradigm. However, it must also be noted that technology is becoming a ubiquitous savior and an important tool for sustainability of enterprises. Real Estate has been a barometer for measuring progress of economy and its central theme of debate. If economy has to improve, much depends on revival of Real Estate Sector in general and retail purchase such as residential apartments in specific. Retails purchases have literally come to a halt due to various reasons such as frequent lock downs, non-movements, lack of confidence and absence of trust in future commitments. In this context, sustainability of this sector has been made possible by adoption of cutting edge technologies. In this paper the technologies are reviewed and how each brand is able to use technologies to better their marketing and sales efforts. The paper will also be able to convincingly illustrate technologies that could be used by companies that are smaller and medium scale in size, so that sustainability does not restrict itself to Tier I cities, but also revisits Tier II cities which are emerging markets.
