LANDLORD AND TENANT (CONSOLIDATION) (AMENDMENT) (NO. 2)

accordance with this Part, apply to the Tribunal for a tenancy immediately from the landlord.

(4) In any application under section 117 by the tenant for a new tenancy, a sub-tenant to whom the premises or any part thereof has been let without breach of the current tenancy shall be entitled to be heard.

(5) Where, in an application under section 117 by the tenant for a new tenancy, the Tribunal does not make an order for the grant of a new tenancy to the tenant then-

(a) if the Tribunal does not make such an order because the landlord has, under this Part, established either of the grounds mentioned in paragraph (b) or (c) of section 119E, any sub-tenancy shall terminate; and

(b) if the Tribunal does not make such an order other than because the landlord has established either of the grounds mentioned in paragraphs (b) or (c) of section 119E, the Tribunal shall, on the application of a sub-tenant, make an order for the grant of a new tenancy immediately from the landlord to the sub-tenant unless, if the application had been by the sub-tenant for a new tenancy from the tenant, the Tribunal would not, under section 119G, have made an order for the grant of a new tenancy:

Provided that, where a part only of the premises would remain in the possession of a sub-tenant or sub-tenants if an order were made under this para- graph, the Tribunal, on the application of the landlord, shall make an order for the grant of such a new tenancy to the sub-tenant, or the sub-tenants jointly, only of the whole premises.

(6) Where a sub-tenant applies, under section 117 and subsection (2) or (3), for an order for the grant of a new tenancy immediately from the landlord, the Tribunal shall make an order granting such a tenancy unless, if the applica- tion had been by the sub-tenant for a new tenancy from the tenant, the Tribunal would not, under section 119G, have made an order for the grant of a new tenancy.

(7) Where the Tribunal makes an order granting to a sub-tenant a new tenancy immediately from the landlord, the provisions of this Part shall apply as if the order was made under section 119D.

(8) Notwithstanding any termination of a tenancy, a sub-tenancy granted without breach of the tenancy shall continue as between the landlord and sub-tenant on the same terms as the sub-tenant held from the tenant in the same way as a tenancy would continue under this Part.

(9) Subject to this section, a sub-tenancy shall not sub- sist for longer than the tenancy under which it was granted.

119Q. (1) Any party may appeal to the Court of Appeal against a determination of the Tribunal on an application under section 117(1) or against an order under section 119F(5) or section 119H(9) or (10) on the ground that such determination is erroneous in point of law.
