LANDLORD AND TENANT ACT 1936 - SECT 66AB

66AB—Ability of landlord to move tenant to other premises

        (1)         Where—

            (a)         the term of a tenancy is extended under section 66A; and

            (b)         the premises form part of a shopping complex,

the landlord is entitled, subject to this section, to require the tenant to move his or her business to other premises in the shopping complex.

        (2)         Where—

            (a)         a landlord proposes to require a tenant to move his or her business to other premises in pursuance of subsection (1); or

            (b)         a landlord has (apart from this section) the right under the commercial tenancy agreement to require the tenant to move his or her business to other premises and proposes to exercise that right,

then the landlord must, at least three months before the business is to be moved, notify the tenant of the requirement, of the premises to which the business is to be moved, and of the date on or before which the business is to be moved.

        (3)         A tenant may, within one month after receiving notice under subsection (2) or such longer period as the Commercial Tribunal may allow, apply to the Tribunal for relief against the requirement.

        (4)         On an application under subsection (3), the Tribunal may—

            (a)         annul the requirement; or

            (b)         make any adjustment of rights between the landlord and tenant that may be just in view of the requirement (and for any proposed commercial tenancy agreement that is to take effect in substitution).

        (5)         The Tribunal should in considering an application under subsection (3), take into account the interests of the landlord, the tenant, and the other tenants that have premises in the shopping complex.

        (6)         The Tribunal cannot annul the requirement unless satisfied that the proposed move would have a seriously adverse, and enduring, effect on the tenant's business.
