Application to Tribunal
(1) A tenant who made an application for consent may apply to the Tribunal if— (a) the landlord has refused to give consent and the tenant believes the grounds specified for the refusal are not applicable, or (b) the landlord has given consent subject to a condition and the tenant believes the condition is unreasonable. (2) The Tribunal must dismiss the application if satisfied— (a) the grounds specified for the refusal are applicable, or (b) the condition is reasonable. (3) If the Tribunal is not satisfied the grounds specified for the refusal are applicable, the Tribunal— (a) must make an order allowing the tenant to keep the animal at the residential premises, and (b) may make the order subject to reasonable conditions. (4) The making of the order is taken to be the consent of the landlord for the purposes of this division. (5) If the Tribunal is satisfied that a condition is an unreasonable condition, the Tribunal must make an order that modifies the consent to remove, vary or substitute the condition so that all conditions of the consent are reasonable conditions. (6) If the application to the Tribunal relates to more than 1 animal, the Tribunal may make different decisions for different animals.
