Turnover figures of tenant, provision in lease requiring is void in some cases
8 Turnover figures of tenant, provision in lease requiring is void in some cases
A provision in a retail shop lease —
to the effect that the tenant is obliged to furnish, or permit the landlord or his agent to gather, figures or statements relating to the turnover of the business; or
to the effect that the landlord is entitled to be furnished with figures or statements relating to the turnover of the business,
is void unless the figures or statements are required for the purpose of determining rent either in whole or in part by reference to the turnover of the business.
Where a retail shop lease contains a provision of a kind referred to in subsection (1) and the figures or statements to which the provision applies are required for the purpose of determining rent either in whole or in part by reference to the turnover of the business, that provision ceases to have effect upon those figures or statements being no longer required for the purpose.
