424 Disputes about tenants’ notices

(1) If a lessor disputes the ground stated in a notice to remedy breach, or notice of intention to leave premises, given to the lessor by the tenant under an agreement, the lessor may apply to a tribunal for an order about the notice.

(2) If the tribunal is satisfied the tenant was not entitled to give the notice on the ground stated, it may make an order under this section.

(3) If the tribunal decides the application before the agreement is terminated, it may make any order it considers appropriate.

(4) If the tribunal decides the application after the agreement is terminated because of the tenant’s action, it may make an order requiring the tenant to pay to the lessor an amount it considers appropriate as compensation for any loss (including loss of rent) or expense incurred by the lessor by the tenant leaving the premises.

(5) This section does not apply to a notice of intention to leave without ground.
