APC: Landlord & Tenant (Only at HAYDOCK)

Candidates with the Landlord & Tenant competency require a good working knowledge of rent review and lease renewal processes.  Candidates must also demonstrate an understanding of the effects of all lease terms on value and ongoing estate management aspects in particular.

At level 3, an appreciation will be required of how dispute resolution processes can be drawn on for the benefit of negotiations, including arbitration and independent expert at rent review, and court and PACT at lease renewal.
