Status

The term provision is used to describe a definable element in a piece of legislation that has legislative effect – such as a Part, Chapter or section. A version of a provision is prospective either:

  1. where the provision (Part, Chapter or section) has never come into force or;
  2. where the text of the provision is subject to change, but no date has yet been appointed by the appropriate person or body for those changes to come into force.

Commencement Orders listed in the ‘Changes to Legislation’ box as not yet applied may bring this prospective version into force.

This section has no associated Explanatory Notes

11(1)On an application made by the tenant under a qualifying lease, the appropriate tribunal may make a determination that the landlord under, or another party to, a qualifying lease cannot be found or their identity cannot be ascertained.

(2)The following provisions of this paragraph apply if the appropriate tribunal makes such determination.

(3)The appropriate tribunal may make such order as it thinks fit including—

(a)an order dispensing with the requirement to give notice under paragraph 3 to that landlord or other party, or

(b)an order that such a notice has effect and has been properly served even though it has not been served on that landlord or other party.

(4)If the appropriate tribunal is satisfied that the tenant has the right to a peppercorn rent, the tribunal may make such order as it thinks fit with respect to the variation of the qualifying lease to give effect to that right.

(5)An order under sub-paragraph (4) may appoint a person to execute the variation of the lease on behalf of a party to the variation; and a variation executed in consequence of such an order has the same force and effect (for all purposes) as if it had been executed by that party.

(6)Before making a determination or order under this paragraph, the appropriate tribunal may require the tenant to take such further steps by way of advertisement or otherwise as the tribunal thinks proper for the purpose of tracing the person in question.

(7)If, after an application is made under this paragraph and before the lease is varied to give effect to the right to a peppercorn rent, the landlord or other party is traced—

(a)no further proceedings shall be taken with a view to a lease being varied in accordance with this paragraph,

(b)the rights and obligations of all parties shall be determined as if the tenant had, at the date of the application, duly given the rent variation notice, and

(c)the appropriate tribunal may give such directions as it thinks fit as to the steps to be taken for giving effect to the right to a peppercorn rent, including directions modifying or dispensing with any of the requirements of this Schedule or any regulations.
