Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

A residential tenancy agreement is to be treated as being entered into for the purposes of Chapter 1 of Part 3 of the Act where a landlord—

(a)

consents to a variation of a residential tenancy agreement which grants the right to occupy the premises to one or more new occupiers (“a varied tenancy”),

(b)

consents to the assignment of a residential tenancy agreement by one or more tenants which results in the grant of the right to occupy the premises to one or more new occupiers (“a tenant assigned tenancy”), or

(c)

accepts a surrender of a residential tenancy agreement (“the surrendered tenancy”) by the original occupier or by or on behalf of joint original occupiers and grants a further residential tenancy agreement starting from the time the surrendered tenancy ends to one or more of the original occupiers and one or more new occupiers (“a new joint tenancy”).
