RE: proving rent liability

The definition of owner is to be found in reg 2(1) and it is the person entitled to dispose of the fee simple. In other words, the owner of the freehold. The reg was amended to take effect from 1/10/07 to exclude leaseholders under long tenancies also, so if he only had the leasehold and disposed of it prior to 1/10/07 than he should not fall foul of the reg.
