Commercial property – rent review - trigger notice – counter notice – knowledge – service – whether a tenant’s counter notice had been validly served where it had not been sent to the last known address for the landlord

Summary

The tenant's counternotice to the landlord's trigger notice was sent to the landlord's address given in the lease but was not received since the landlord had moved. The tenant's solicitor was aware of the landlord's new address from recent correspondence about a subletting. The tenant was imputed with the knowledge of his solicitor, so the counternotice was not validly served because it had not been sent to the last known address for the landlord.
