Regulation 35 Failure to agree
Where—
the pub-owning business sends a subsequent proposed tenancy or licence to the tied pub tenant during the negotiation period; and
the tenant considers that the tenancy or licence is not MRO-compliant,
the tenant may refer the matter to the Adjudicator within the period of 14 days beginning with the day after the day on which the subsequent proposed tenancy is received.
A “subsequent proposed tenancy or licence” means a tenancy or licence which the pub-owning business has offered to the tenant as an MRO-compliant tenancy or licence during the negotiation period.
A tied pub tenant may refer the MRO rent to an independent assessor by sending a notice to the pub-owning business, in writing, of the tenant’s intention to do so within the period—
beginning with the day 28 days after the day on which the negotiation period begins; and
ending with the day 7 days after the day on which that period ends.
