If you are thinking of moving home you have probably asked yourself the question, 'Should I sell up or keep hold of my property and rent it out?' It's a dilemma that many property owners face, and the decision is not an easy one to come by. Making the right choice for you is essential. There is no definite 'yes or no' answer to this question, it really all comes down to your own personal situation and preferences.

For commercial matters, things are usually started with a Section 146 notice (for information and guidance please see the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors) giving a reasonable time for the breaches complained of in the notice to be rectified otherwise the lease will be forfeit. If the tenant does not comply, then the landlord can take back possession of the property (if provided for in the lease) unless the tenant obtains an injunction to prevent this.Commercial landlords can also use 'distrain' (that is take possessions belonging to the tenant left on the property) to cover any sums owing.

Industrial illnesses and injuries are one of the most common sources of loss of earnings for any employee. Industrial illnesses and injuries occur due to recklessness on the employer's part and lead to sustainable injuries for the employee along with loss of earnings. An employee loses his earnings when he has to take leave from the work due to his inability to work because of his infirm health as a result of any industrial sickness or injury.
