15 Is assignment the same as entering into lease for working out application of Act? (1) In working out whether this Act applies to a lease, a person (the assignee) is not taken to have entered into the lease only because the lease was assigned to the person. (2) However, if this Act applied to the lease immediately before the lease was assigned, subsection (1) has the effect of ceasing the application of this Act to the lease, or to a dispute in relation to the lease, only— (a) if this Act would not have applied to the lease if the assignee had been the original tenant; and (b) while that assignee is the tenant.
