Landlords 13:24 - Mar 19 with 2398 views

Son of a friend is at Uni and keeps himself going by working part-time in a restaurant. He's been laid-off and asked landlord if he can pay 50% rent until he gets sorted and can back-pay.

Answer - "no you signed a contact and need to pay in full."

Nice

That is good to know but my general point about a contract signed under duress (whether for a rental property or anything else) not being binding still stands as a general principle of English Law, does it not?

Broadly speaking- yes. You are right that duress can be difficult to prove.

But there is really no relevance on a landlord and tenant situation- as such an agreement would not get around the need to seek a proper order and warrant anyway.
