Reasonable steps where third party consent to change a term of a letting is required

6.—(1) Where—

(a)under the terms of any lease or other binding obligation a controller of let premises is required to obtain the consent of any person to change a term of a letting; and

(b)but for that requirement, it would be reasonable for the controller of let premises to change the term in order to comply with a duty under section 24D(3) of the 1995 Act,

it is reasonable for the controller of let premises to have to request that consent, but it is not reasonable for him to have to change the term of the letting before that consent is obtained.

(2) In this regulation “binding obligation” means any legally binding obligation in relation to premises, whether arising from an agreement or otherwise.
