(2) However, if land that is placed under the housing commissioner's control under subsection (1) is subject to an existing tenancy, the land is placed under the commissioner's control subject to the tenancy.
(3) To remove any doubt, the housing commissioner may exercise the commissioner's powers under section 33 in relation to a tenancy to which subsection (2) applies, including, for example, by ending the tenancy.
Note An example is part of the Act, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act, s 126 and s 132).
(4) A direction under subsection (1) is a notifiable instrument.
Note A notifiable instrument must be notified under the Legislation Act.

"existing tenancy", for land placed under the housing commissioner's control, means a tenancy that was in force immediately before the land was placed under the commissioner's control.
"unleased territory land" means territory land that is not leased under the Land (Planning and Environment) Act 1991 or the Unit Titles Act 2001 .
