Amendment No. 5 is a consequential technical amendment to section 3(3) of the principal Act to ensure that tenancies of unlimited duration fall within the scope of the Act. In practice, such tenancies could be longer than 35 years in duration. In all circumstances, tenancies of unlimited duration which are included in the updated definition of a "Part 4 tenancy" under section 29 of the principal Act, as substituted by section 6 of this Bill, will fall within scope of the principal Act.
