    Court
    Lands Tribunal
    Case number
    LDPD878/2014

    The tribunal held there was no actual tenancy because both parties lacked the intention to create and enforce a real landlord–tenant relationship; the written lease served other purposes related to redevelopment registration and both parties’ conduct (agreement to waive rent/deposit and failure to address rent payments) showed no intention to establish an operative tenancy, therefore no arrears arose.
