SCHEDULE 8Phasing of Rent Increases: General Provisions

General

6The amount of any service element or of any amount sought to be noted in the register or in the certificate of fair rent in pursuance of this Schedule shall be included among the matters with respect to which representations may be made or consultations are to be held or notices given under Parts I and II of Schedule 11, and under Schedule 12 to this Act.

7In ascertaining for the purposes of this Schedule whether there is any difference between amounts, or what that difference is, such adjustments shall be made as may be necessary to take account of periods of different lengths; and for that purpose a month shall be treated as one-twelfth and a week as one-fifty-second of a year.

8(1)Where a registration takes effect from a date earlier than the date of registration, references in this Schedule to the date of registration shall nonetheless be references to the later date.

(2)Where a rent determined by a rent assessment committee is registered in substitution for a rent determined by a rent officer, the preceding provisions of this Schedule shall have effect as if only the rent determined by the rent assessment committee had been registered, but the date of registration shall be deemed for the purposes of this Schedule (but not for the purposes of section 45(3) of this Act) to be the date on which the rent determined by the rent officer was registered.

9This Schedule is subject to paragraph 3 of Schedule 20 to this Act.

10Where any provision of this Schedule imposes a rent limit for a statutory period, or part of a statutory period, falling within the period of delay, section 45(2) of this Act shall have effect as if for references to the registered rent there were substituted references to that rent limit.
