Summary

Section 25 of the Landlord and Tenant (Covenants) Act 1995, the anti-avoidance section, does not prevent a landlord from contractually limiting liability to the period when it is the landlord.

There are circumstances in which the parties to the lease can contractually agree that the landlord will be released when its interest is transferred.
