Landlord and Tenant Act 1987 · 1987 c. 31View on legislation.gov.uk

Part I: Tenants' Rights of First Refusal

This section applies where, in any case to which section 5 applies, the consideration required by the landlord for making the disposal does not consist, or does not wholly consist, of money.

The offer notice, in addition to complying with whichever is applicable of sections 5A to 5D, must state—

that an election may made under section 8C (explaining its effect), and
that, accordingly, the notice also constitutes an offer by the landlord, which may be accepted by the requisite majority of qualifying tenants of the constituent flats, for a person or persons nominated by them to acquire the property in pursuance of sections 11 to 17.

The notice must specify a period within which that offer may be so accepted, being a period of not less than two months which is to begin with the date of service of the notice.
