He does have a mortgage, yes. Would I be relying on a piece of legislation
to claim the unpaid sum, or are we simply talking about notifying the
mortgagee that there is a breach of the lease, thereby putting them in a
situation where, in order to protect their interest, they rectify the breach
rather than risk forfeiture?
