Amendment No. 52 to section 56 of the 2004 Act is consequential to amendments Nos. 40 and 41, which amend sections 34 and 35 of the Act. These oblige a landlord to offer the former tenant a reletting of the dwelling where a contract to sell is not entered into within nine months of the end of a tenancy terminated on the ground of intent to sell. There are many technical details here, but this essentially relates to the point I made about the first of these amendments. We are making changes to section 34 which pertain to the landlord's obligations where reletting is concerned and the timelines involved in such cases.
