RESIDENTIAL TENANCIES ACT 1997 - SECT 207L

Reduction of fixed term agreement

    (1)     On the application of a party to a site agreement that is for a fixed term, the Tribunal may make an order—

        (a)     reducing the term of the agreement by a period stated in the order; and

        (b)     making any variations to the terms of the agreement that are necessary because of the reduction of the term.

    (2)     The Tribunal may only make an order under this section if it is satisfied that, because of an unforeseen change in the applicant's circumstances, the severe hardship which the applicant would suffer if the term of the agreement were not reduced would be greater than the hardship which the other party would suffer if the term were reduced.

    (3)     In making an order under this section, the Tribunal may determine the compensation (if any) to be paid by the applicant for the order to the other party because of the reduction in the term of the agreement.
