Tenant may apply to Tribunal

82. Tenant may apply to Tribunal



(1) A tenant may apply to the Tribunal for a determination that the consent of
the landlord to the assignment or sub-letting of the whole or any part of the
rented premises is not required if-

   (a)  the landlord withholds consent; and

   (b)  the tenant believes that the withholding of the consent is
        unreasonable.

(2) If, after giving each party an opportunity to be heard, the Tribunal
determines that consent is not required, the assignment or sub-letting may go
ahead without the landlord's consent.
