6 Reduction of statutory charge

(1)  If –

(a) a protected lessee is required by a provision of a protected lease to pay (otherwise than as part of rent) a fixed amount that represents an amount of a statutory charge, or insurance premium, payable by the lessor; and

(b) the amount of the statutory charge, or insurance premium, payable by the lessor is reduced –

the fixed amount that the protected lessee is required under the provision of the protected lease to pay is reduced in the same proportion as the proportion by which the amount of the statutory charge, or insurance premium, payable by the lessor has been reduced.

(2)  Subregulation (1) does not apply in relation to a protected lessee if the protected lessee agrees, in writing, with the lessor that the subregulation does not apply to the protected lessee.
