Where a RTM company has given a claim notice in relation to any premises, each of the persons specified in subsection (2) has a right of access to any part of the premises if that is reasonable in connection with any matter arising out of the claim to acquire the right to manage.
The persons referred to in subsection (1) are—
any person authorised to act on behalf of the RTM company,
any person who is landlord under a lease of the whole or any part of the premises and any person authorised to act on behalf of any such person,
any person who is party to such a lease otherwise than as landlord or tenant and any person authorised to act on behalf of any such person, and
any manager appointed under Part 2 of the 1987 Act to act in relation to the premises, or any premises containing or contained in the premises, and any person authorised to act on behalf of any such manager.
The right conferred by this section is exercisable, at any reasonable time, on giving not less than ten days' notice—
to the occupier of any premises to which access is sought, or
if those premises are unoccupied, to the person entitled to occupy them.
