(a)informing the tenant of the landlord’s intention to serve a notice of variation,
(b)specifying the proposed variation and its effect, and
(c)inviting the tenant to comment on the proposed variation within such time, specified in the notice, as the landlord considers reasonable;
and the landlord shall consider any comments made by the tenant within the specified time.
(3)Subsection (2) does not apply to a variation of the rent, or of payments in respect of services or facilities provided by the landlord or of payments in respect of rates.
(4)The notice of variation shall specify—
(a)the variation effected by it, and
(b)the date on which it takes effect;
and the period between the date on which it is served and the date on which it takes effect must be at least four weeks or the rental period, whichever is the longer.
(5)The notice of variation, when served, shall be accompanied by such information as the landlord considers necessary to inform the tenant of the nature and effect of the variation.
