66E—Tenant may seek Tribunal orders

        (1)         If a tenant receives a notice under section 66C(4) refusing their application for approval under section 66C(2), the tenant may, in a manner and form determined by the Tribunal, apply to the Tribunal for an order under this section.

        (2)         Subject to this section, the Tribunal may, on an application under this section, make 1 or more of the following orders:

            (a)         an order confirming the refusal of approval to the keeping of a pet on premises rented under a residential tenancy agreement;

            (b)         an order varying or revoking a condition of an approval under section 66C;

            (c)         an order permitting a pet to be kept on premises rented under a residential tenancy agreement;

            (d)         such ancillary or other orders as the Tribunal considers appropriate.

        (3)         The Tribunal may only make an order under subsection (2)(a) if it is satisfied that it is reasonable to refuse approval to the keeping of a pet in accordance with section 66D.

        (4)         Before making an order under subsection (2)(c), the Tribunal must have regard to reasonable conditions proposed by the landlord for approval to keep the pet in accordance with section 66C(8) to (10) (inclusive).

        (5)         An order under subsection (2)(a), (c) or (d) remains in force—

            (a)         for the period specified by the Tribunal in the order; or

            (b)         if no such period is specified, until further order by the Tribunal,

whether or not a new residential tenancy agreement is entered in respect of the relevant premises during the period.
