The following are very brief summaries and refer only to clauses that may be relevant to day-to-day occupation. This is not intended to be a legal interpretation but purely a guide towards the actual text (Clause numbers are given in brackets). We suggest that you obtain a copy of the Lease and refer to it for full details or obtain further advice from your solicitor.
