RESIDENTIAL PARKS (LONG-STAY TENANTS) ACT 2006 - SECT 17

17 .         Tenant’s copy of long-stay agreement

        (1)         When a long-stay tenant signs a long-stay agreement, the park operator must —

            (a)         give the tenant a copy of the agreement; and

            (b)         ensure that a fully executed copy of the agreement is given to the tenant within 21 days after it was first signed by the tenant or, if that is not practicable in the circumstances, as soon as practicable after that.

        Penalty for this subsection: a fine of $5 000.

        (2)         If the park operator does not execute the long-stay agreement but gives the long-stay tenant a copy of it in accordance with subsection (1)(b), acceptance of rent from the tenant by the park operator gives the agreement the same effect as if it had been fully executed.

        [Section 17 amended: No. 3 of 2019 s. 39.]
