21 Tenant's disclosure statement
(1) Not later than 7 days after receiving a landlord's disclosure
statement, or within a further period to which the prospective
landlord agrees, the tenant under a retail shop lease must give the
landlord a tenant's disclosure statement.
Business Tenancies (Fair Dealings) Act 2003 18
(2) A tenant's disclosure statement is a statement in writing that
contains or has attached the information or material specified in the
form prescribed by the Regulations (but only to the extent that it is
relevant to the lease concerned).
(3) The layout of the tenant's disclosure statement is not required to
comply with the layout of the prescribed form.
(4) If a lease is entered into by way of the renewal of a lease, a written
statement (a tenant's disclosure update) that updates the
provisions of an earlier tenant's disclosure statement given to the
landlord is, in conjunction with that earlier tenant's disclosure
statement, taken to be the tenant's disclosure statement given at
the time the tenant's disclosure update is given.
