HL Deb 02 July 1984 vol 454 cc80-1

4 Page 4, line 21 at end insert— ("(140A) Where under an agreement between the landlord and the tenant of the holding (not being an agreement expressed to take effect as a new contract of tenancy between the parties) provision is made for adjustment of the boundaries of the holding or for any other variation of the terms of the tenancy, exclusive of those relating to rent, then, unless the agreement otherwise provides—

  1. (a) that provision shall for the purposes of subsection (8) of this section be treated as not operating to terminate the tenancy, and accordingly as not resulting in the commencement of a new contract of tenancy between the parties; and
  2. (b) any increase or reduction of rent solely attributable to any such adjustment or variation as aforesaid shall be disregarded for the purposes of paragraph (b) of that subsection.")

5 line 37, leave out from ("1977") to end of line 43.

Lord Belstead

My Lords, with the leave of the House, I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendments Nos. 4 and 5. These two amendments provide that adjustment of boundaries or any other variation of the terms of the tenancy (except those relating to rent) will not trigger off the start of a new three-year rent cycle unless the agreement giving effect to the changes specifically provides for it. The new Section 8(11)(d) is inadequate, and is therefore deleted. I beg to move.

Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said amendments.—(Lord Belstead)

On Question Motion agreed to.
