BOARDING HOUSES ACT 2012 - SECT 30

30 Occupancy principles

(1) The
"occupancy principles" in relation to registrable boarding houses are the principles set out in Schedule 1.

(2) The occupancy principles apply for the purposes of this Division only in relation to residents of registrable boarding houses under occupancy agreements.

Note : The definition of
"occupancy agreement" in section 27 (1) excludes any rental agreement between a proprietor and resident of a registrable boarding house (or any persons acting on their behalf). Accordingly, the occupancy principles do not apply in relation to a person who is entitled to reside in a registrable boarding house under a rental agreement.

(3) The regulations may make provision for or with respect to--

(a) what constitutes, or what does not constitute, compliance with the occupancy principles for the purposes of this Part, and

(b) the issuing of guidelines for that purpose.
