520 _aChD 17 February 1987 Summons seeking a declaration as to the true construction of a point in a lease of a flat . The lease contained provisions to ensure that the rent did not exceed two-thirds of the rateable value . This is to ensure exclusion from protection under the Rent Acts. The first proviso was designed to ensure that the fixed rent together with the variable portion which included the service charge should never exceed two-thirds of rv. The second, clause 12, was an agreement that if in the future the Leasehold Reform Act 1967 "shall have been amended", so that the service charge did not have the effect of bringing the rent over the two-thirds of rv, the above proviso would have no effect and the landlord would have the liberty to demand a full contribution towards his expenditure. The point of construction was whether in the light of the two-thirds limit in the lease and the relaxation in clause 12, a service charge taking the rent above the two-thirds could be levied. ChD
