(2) The body corporate may subsequently amend the authorisation to include a right or option of extension or renewal (a
"subsequent right or option" ) only if—

(b) the unexpired term of the authorisation, from the day the resolution approving the subsequent right or option is passed by the body corporate, is not more than 10 years; and

(c) section 135 is complied with for the amendment.

(a) the authorisation expires; and

(b) the person can not act again as a letting agent without a new authorisation.
