If a landlord unreasonably withholds consent for alterations when the lease requires such consent, the tenant can apply to the court for a declaration that the landlord's withholding of consent is unreasonable. If the court agrees, the tenant may proceed with the alteration. This provides a legal remedy for tenants when landlords act unreasonably.
Key Point: Tenants can seek a court declaration if a landlord unreasonably withholds consent for alterations required by the lease. The court's approval allows the tenant to proceed with the alteration legally.
