Section 24D: Amount of interim rent in any other case

Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 · 1954 c. 56View on legislation.gov.uk

Part II: Security of Tenure for Business, Professional and other Tenants

The interim rent in a case where section 24C of this Act does not apply is the rent which it is reasonable for the tenant to pay while the relevant tenancy continues by virtue of section 24 of this Act.

In determining the interim rent under subsection (1) above the court shall have regard—

to the rent payable under the terms of the relevant tenancy; and
to the rent payable under any sub-tenancy of part of the property comprised in the relevant tenancy,

but otherwise subsections (1) and (2) of section 34 of this Act , or (as the case may be) subsections (2) to (4) of section 34A of this Act, shall apply to the determination as they would apply to the determination of a rent under that section if a new tenancy from year to year of the whole of the property comprised in the relevant tenancy were granted to the tenant by order of the court.

If the court—

has made an order for the grant of a new tenancy and has ordered payment of interim rent in accordance with section 24C of this Act, but
either—
it subsequently revokes under section 36(2) of this Act the order for the grant of a new tenancy; or
the landlord and tenant agree not to act on the order,

the court on the application of the landlord or the tenant shall determine a new interim rent in accordance with subsections (1) and (2) above without a further application under section 24A(1) of this Act.
