404 Rights on renewal
When a new lease is granted on the surrender of a lease (the original
lease)—
(a) a person in whom an estate for the life of the lessee, or for a
fixed term, is vested by the new lease—
(i) is entitled to the rents payable under a sublease derived
from the original lease; and
(ii) is entitled to have the obligations and duties imposed on
the sublessee by a sublease derived from the original lease
properly performed; and
Leases—general provisions Part 4.1
Renewal of headlease without surrender of sublease Division 4.1.2
(iii) is entitled to the same remedies for the recovery of the
rents, or for a breach of the obligations or duties, as if the
original lease had not been surrendered but had remained
in force; and
(b) a sublessee under a sublease derived from the original lease
continues to hold the lands sublet as if the original lease had not
been surrendered but had remained in force; and
(c) the head lessor is entitled to the same remedies by way of entry
on the lands sublet by a sublease derived from the original lease,
for rents payable under the new lease or for breaches of the
obligations and duties imposed by the new lease (so far as the
rents, obligations and duties are not greater than the rents
payable under, or the obligations and duties imposed by, the
original lease), as the head lessor would have if the original lease
had not been surrendered but had remained in force or if each
sublease derived from the original lease had been surrendered
and regranted under the new lease.
