Variation of leases

Section 162: Grounds for application by party to lease

275.Section 162 extends and clarifies the grounds for applying for a variation of a lease under section 35 of the 1987 Act.  New subsection (2)(b) of section 35 of the 1987 Act is intended to make it clear that a lease of a flat which does not require the building as a whole to be insured under a single policy does not make satisfactory provision for insurance. New subsection (2)(g) of that section provides a power to specify further grounds by regulations. New subsection (3A) of that section makes it clear that in considering whether a lease makes satisfactory provision for the recovery of expenditure incurred, the factors include whether the lease makes provision for interest or other charges in the event of late payment.
