I move amendment No. 6:

In page 8, between lines 26 and 27, to insert the following:“Amendment of Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Act 2013

9. The Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Act 2013 is amended by the insertion, after section 4, of the following:

“Protection of tenants on repossessed land

4A.(1) Where a mortgagee goes into possession of land of a mortgagor, or appoints a receiver to land pursuant to its rights as mortgagee, no right shall be granted to terminate any tenancy on that land that may then exist in favour of a third party for a period of 24 months from the date of the appointment of a receiver.

(2) Where a mortgagee goes into possession of land of a mortgagor, or appoints a receiver to land pursuant to its rights as mortgagee, any tenancy on that land that exist in favour of a third party shall continue to enjoy any protections afforded to that tenancy under the Residential Tenancies Act 2004 notwithstanding the provision of any other statute.”.”.
