One of the aims of The Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024 (LFRA) was to remove the outdated and punitive powers available to enforce historic rent charges under section 121 of the Law of Property Act 1925. It introduced a new enforcement process to prevent a rent charge owner being able to take possession of a property, or grant a statutory rent charge lease, simply because a rent charge had remained unpaid for 40 days.
