Where—

(a)

a rent for a dwellinghouse which is subject to a regulated tenancy is registered; and

(b)

at a time when the rent payable under the tenancy is less than the registered rent the tenant, or any person who might succeed him as statutory tenant, becomes the tenant under a new regulated tenancy of the dwellinghouse,

the rent limit for any contractual period of the new regulated tenancy beginning before the registered rent becomes payable shall be the amount to which, if the first mentioned tenancy had continued, the rent payable thereunder could have increased in accordance with the provisions of this Order for a statutory period beginning at the same time.
