Abstract
Analyses cases involving the construction of perpetually renewable leases (PRLs) under the Law of Property Act 1922 s.145 and Sch.15, and the findings of a study into whether the relevant provisions should be repealed. Reviews the problems arising where courts have allowed a perpetually renewable term to be created, the need for an express covenant for renewal and the scope for a human rights challenge to PRLs. Outlines the arguments supporting legislative prohibition of perpetual renewals
