Rent Agreements
8Where, after a controlled tenancy of a dwelling-house becomes a regulated tenancy by virtue of section 34 of this Act, an agreement increasing the rent under the tenancy (but without creating a new regulated tenancy) takes effect, whether before or after the beginning of the period of delay imposed by paragraph 2 of this Schedule, then, subject to paragraph 9 below,—
(a)the rent limit for any contractual period of the regulated tenancy beginning during that period of delay shall be the amount to which, if the agreement had not been made, the rent payable under the tenancy could have been increased in accordance with this Schedule for a statutory period beginning at the same time, and, in relation to such a contractual period, the reference in section 43(3)(a) of the Act of 1971 to section 19(2) of that Act shall be construed as a reference to this paragraph ; and
(b)in relation to any statutory period of the regulated tenancy, beginning during that period of delay, the provisions of this Schedule shall have effect as if the agreement had not been made.
9If, in the period between the time when the controlled tenancy of a dwelling-house becomes a regulated tenancy by virtue of section 34 of this Act and the registration of such a rent as is mentioned in paragraph 1 of this Schedule, a rent agreement with a tenant having security of tenure takes effect as respects the dwelling-house and me provisions of sections 42 and 43 of this Act have been observed as respects the agreement, then the provisions of this Schedule shall apply as respects the period after the actual date when the rent was registered for the dwelling-house as if the date of registration had been the date on which the agreement took effect.
