Notices of increases
(1) Unless the Commissioner has made a determination under section 59(4) or the Tribunal has made an order under section 60 regarding the date from which an increase in rent shall take effect, an increase in rent specified in a certificate issued under section 58(1 )( a) shall not take effect except in pursuance of a notice of increase in the specified form served by the landlord on the tenant, specifying the date from which the increase is to take effect. (Amended 5 of 1975 s. 5 ; 77 of 1988 s. 8 ) (2) Where a landlord serves a notice of increase on the tenant under subsection (1) he shall, at the same time, send a copy of the notice to the Commissioner. (3) The date specified in a notice under subsection (1) shall not, subject to section 64 , be earlier than the first day when rent becomes due after the expiration of 1 month from the service of the notice. (4) Notwithstanding this section, where proceedings on a review under section 59 or an appeal under section 60 are not concluded on the date specified in a notice under subsection (1), the failure by the tenant or sub-tenant to pay the increase in rent prior to the conclusion of such proceedings shall not be a breach of covenant to pay rent nor give rise to a right to forfeiture.
