(1)If, at any time after a landlord has served an offer notice with respect to any relevant disposal affecting any premises to which this Part applies, those premises cease to be premises to which this Part applies, the landlord may serve a notice on the qualifying tenants of the constituent flats stating—
(a)that the premises have ceased to be premises to which this Part applies, and
(b)that the offer notice, and anything done in pursuance of it, is to be treated as not having been served or done;
and, on the service of any such notice, the provisions of this Part shall cease to have effect in relation to that disposal.
(2)Subsection (4) of section 5 shall apply to a notice under subsection (1) above as it applies to a notice under that section, but as if the references to the qualifying tenants on whom such a notice is required to be served by virtue of subsection (1) of that section were references to the qualifying tenants mentioned in subsection (1) above.
(3)In a case where a landlord is entitled to serve a notice under subsection (1) above but does not do so, this Part shall continue to have effect in relation to the disposal in question as if the premises in question were still premises to which this Part applies.
(4)Where—
(a)in the case of a landlord to whom section 6(7) applies—
(i)the landlord has discharged any duty imposed on him by that provision, and
(ii)any such consent as is there mentioned has been withheld, and
(iii)no such declaration as is there mentioned has been made, or
(b)the period specified in section 6(2)(b) has expired without any binding contract having been entered into between the landlord and the nominated person,
and the landlord serves a notice on the nominated person stating that paragraph (a) or (b) above applies, the landlord may, during the period of 12 months beginning with the end of the period specified in section 6(2)(b), dispose of the protected interest to such person as he thinks fit, but subject to the restrictions mentioned in section 9(2).
References in this subsection to section 6(2)(b) include references to that provision as it has effect by virtue of section 7(4)(c) or 8(2)(c).
(5)Where any such notice is served in a case to which paragraph (b) of subsection (4) applies, the landlord may recover from the other party any costs reasonably incurred by him in connection with the disposal to the nominated person between the end of the first four weeks of the period referred to in section 9(1)(b) and the time when that notice is served by him; and section 9(7) shall apply for the purposes of this section as it applies for the purposes of section 9.
(6)Where any binding contract with respect to the disposal of the protected interest has been entered into between the landlord and the nominated person but it has been lawfully rescinded by the landlord, the landlord may, during the period of 12 months beginning with the date of the rescission of the contract, dispose of that interest to such person (and on such terms) as he thinks fit.
(7)Section 9(9) applies for the purposes of this section.
