(1) Subsection (2) has
effect if —
(a) a
residential tenancy agreement creates a tenancy for a fixed term (the former
agreement ); and
(b) the
parties enter into a new residential tenancy agreement in relation to the same
premises (the new agreement ) that is to commence immediately after the end of
the term of the former agreement, whether under the terms of the agreement or
under section 76C.
(2) The tenant cannot
be required under the new agreement to pay an amount of rent, in respect of
the first 30 days of the new agreement, that is more than the amount that
would have been payable under the former agreement if the former agreement had
continued to have effect during that period.
