The landlord may demand such sum as he considers appropriate, up to and including the maximum amount specified in this section.

But for each complete year which has elapsed after the conveyance, grant or assignment and before the first relevant disposal the maximum amount which may be demanded by the landlord is reduced by one-fifth.
