46 Tenant to be given notice of alterations and refurbishment
A retail shop lease is taken to provide that the landlord must not
begin to carry out an alteration or refurbishment of the building or
retail shopping centre of which the retail shop forms part that is
likely to adversely affect the business of the tenant, unless:
(a) the landlord has notified the tenant in writing of the proposed
alteration or refurbishment at least 2 months before it is
commenced; or
(b) the alteration or refurbishment is necessary because of an
emergency and the landlord has given the tenant the
maximum period of notice that is reasonably practicable in the
circumstances.
