        (b)     otherwise acted in part performance of the residential rental agreement.

    (2)     A residential rental agreement has effect under subsection (1) from—

        (a)     the day on which the rent was accepted, if the residential rental provider or that person's agent has accepted rent without reservation; or

        (b)     if the residential rental provider or that person's agent has otherwise acted in part performance of the residential rental agreement, the day on which the act was performed.

    (3)     Section 53 of the Property Law Act 1958 does not prevent a residential rental agreement from having effect under this section.
