Where the right to manage premises is to be acquired by a RTM company, the company may give notice to a person who is—
landlord under a lease of the whole or any part of the premises,
party to such a lease otherwise than as landlord or tenant, or
a 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,
requiring him to provide the company with any information which is in his possession or control and which the company reasonably requires in connection with the exercise of the right to manage.
Where the information is recorded in a document in his possession or control the notice may require him—
to permit any person authorised to act on behalf of the company at any reasonable time to inspect the document (or, if the information is recorded in the document in a form in which it is not readily intelligible, to give any such person access to it in a readily intelligible form), and
to supply the company with a copy of the document containing the information in a readily intelligible form.
A notice may not require a person to do anything under this section before the acquisition date.
But, subject to that, a person who is required by a notice to do anything under this section must do it within the period of 28 days beginning with the day on which the notice is given.
