(3BB)
A tenant on whom a notice of increase in rent is served under subsection (3AA)
may, not later than one month after the service of the notice, apply to the Tribunal
for an order cancelling or reducing the increase on the
ground—
(a)
that the improvement was
unnecessary:
Provided that where the
premises the subject of the improvement comprise 3 or more tenements and more
than two-thirds of the tenants of those premises (other than sub-tenants) have
consented in writing to the improvement, the improvement shall be deemed to be
necessary;
(b)
that a greater amount was expended on the improvement than was reasonable;
or
(c)
where the increase follows an apportionment under subsection (3AC), that
the apportionment was unreasonable,
and the Tribunal may make an order accordingly.
