- HCSA22/2009
Leave to appeal was refused because the Notice did not comply with the operative tenancy agreement's break clause, the landlord's threatened deduction of the security deposit did not constitute a repudiatory breach entitling the tenant to withhold rent, and set-off of the deposit is discretionary and properly reserved to be determined in the related claim, so the application had no merit.
