(1) A provision in a retail premises lease is void to the extent that it limits or has the effect of limiting the tenant's right to employ or engage persons the tenant chooses.
(2) However, subsection (1) does not prevent the lease from containing provisions that—
(a) specify minimum standards of competence and behaviour for persons employed in the retail premises or other persons (such as contractors) doing work there; or
(b) prohibit work from being carried out on specified items of the landlord's property; or
(c) if the retail premises are
located in a retail shopping centre, require the tenant to comply with any
award or agreement (for example, a construction site agreement) affecting the
centre.
