  "number": "16",
  "heading": "Introductory standard contracts",
  "text": "(1) An occupation contract which is a standard contract because the first exception in section 11 or 12 applies and because it is within paragraph 3 of Schedule 3 (new occupation contract made with community landlord)—\n(a) is a periodic standard contract during the introductory period, and\n(b) if it subsists immediately before the end of that period—\n(i) ends at the end of that period, and\n(ii) is replaced with a secure contract that has an occupation date falling immediately after that period ends.\n(2) But subsection (1)(b) does not apply if an introductory period ends because of paragraph 1(6) of Schedule 4 (private landlord becomes landlord under the contract).\n(3) Schedule 4 makes provision about introductory periods and about the terms of a secure contract which arises at the end of an introductory period.\n(4) In this Act “introductory standard contract” means a contract—\n(a) which is within subsection (1), and\n(b) in relation to which the introductory period has not ended.",
