Article 6 Restriction on rent increases in cases of further registration
Where, on or after the commencement of this Order—
a registration is superseded by another registration,
the new registration permits the rent to be increased above the amount payable under the former registration,
the new registration takes effect within 12 months of an increase in rent recoverable in respect of the former registration, and
the increase mentioned in sub-paragraph (c) above is less than the increase (in consequence of the new registration) permitted by virtue of article 5(4)(a) of this Order,
the total additional rental income in the period of 12 months (beginning with an anniversary of the date of the former registration) in which the new registration occurs shall not, by virtue of a permitted increase taking effect within 12 months of an increase which falls within sub-paragraph (d) of this paragraph, be increased above the permitted increase which, but for article 5(4)(a) of this Order, would have been recoverable in respect of that period.
Where the circumstances specified in paragraph (1)(a) to (c) above apply and the date of registration of the former registration occurred before the commencement of this Order, the total additional rental income in the period of twelve months in which the new registration occurs shall not exceed the increase, calculated in accordance with article 5(2) or (3) of this Order, which would, but for this paragraph, be permitted.
