Section 20
Power of trustees of renewable leaseholds to renew and raise money for the purpose
A trustee of any leaseholds which are renewable from time to time either under any covenant or contract or by custom or usual practice may, if he thinks fit, and shall, if thereto required by any person having any beneficial interest, present or future or contingent, in the leaseholds, use his best endeavours to obtain from time to time a renewed leased of the same property on the accustomed and reasonable terms and for that purpose may from time to time make or concur in making a surrender of the lease for the time being subsisting and do all such other acts as are requisite:
Provided that, where by the terms of the settlement or will the person in possession for his life or other limited interest is entitled to enjoy the same without any obligation to renew or to contribute to the expense of renewal, this section shall not apply unless the consent in writing of that person is obtained to the renewal on the part of the trustee.
(2)
If money is required to pay for the renewal, the trustee effecting the renewal may pay the same out of any money then in his hands in trust for the persons beneficially interested in the lands to be comprised in the renewed lease, and if he has not in his hands sufficient money for the purpose he may raise the money required by charge of the property to be comprised in the renewed lease or of any other property for the time being subject to the trusts to which that property is subject; and no person advancing money upon a charge purporting to be under this power shall be bound to see that the money is wanted or that no more is raised than is wanted for the purpose or otherwise as to the application thereof.
