16 Application of Act to pre-existing leases on registration
of units plans
(a) a person leases premises (the original lease) that are
subsequently registered as part of a units plan under the Unit
Titles Act 2001; and
(b) because of the registration, the person enters a new lease
(the new lease) that contains essentially the same terms as the
original lease apart from any changes made because of the
registration.
(2) In working out whether this Act applies to the new lease, the new
lease is taken to have been entered into when the original lease was
entered into.
