That is another point I raised last week. There is nothing in the heads of Bill to say that the bid from the tenant has to be officially recorded. My concern about that process is that, subsequent to the fact, when the property is sold on the open market to somebody else, a tenant could say that they had offered a given amount and that the owner said it would be taken under consideration.
