            (b)         answer any reasonable question put by a resident.

            (a)         the time and place of the meeting; and

            (b)         the reason for the meeting.

        (3)         Redevelopment cannot take place unless the administering authority has given due consideration to a resident's rights arising from his or her residence contract and, if relevant, reasonable arrangements have been put in place with respect to the provision of alternative accommodation.

        (4)         If redevelopment that would have a significant effect on a resident's rights arising from his or her residence contract occurs without compliance with the term referred to in subsection (1) , the administering authority is guilty of an offence.
