Paragraph 1

In this Schedule the following expressions have the meanings hereby assigned to them in relation to a tenancy (in this Schedule referred to as “the relevant tenancy”), that is to say:—

• “the competent landlord” means the person who in relation to the relevant tenancy is for the time being the landlord (as defined by section twenty-one of this Act) for the purposes of Part I of this Act;

• “mesne landlord” means a tenant whose interest is intermediate between the relevant tenancy and the interest of the competent landlord; and

• “superior landlord”, except in paragraph 9 of this Schedule, means a person (whether the owner of the fee simple or a tenant) whose interest is superior to the interest of the competent landlord.

References in this Schedule to “other landlords” are references to persons who are either mesne landlords or superior landlords.
