### sec.43 Numbering and renumbering of provisions
An unnumbered provision of a law may be numbered in a way that is consistent with current legislative drafting practice, and all necessary consequential numbering amendments made.
In the following provision, the sentences may be numbered (1), (2), (3) and (4) respectively—
A tenant is not to be entitled to compensation, unless 2 months at least before the determination of the tenancy the tenant gives the landlord written notice claiming compensation.
If a tenant gives such a notice, the landlord may, within 1 month, give the tenant written notice claiming any set-off.
Every notice under this section must state the particulars and amount of the intended claim.
Provided that noncompliance by either party with any of the provisions of this section does not deprive such party of any rights under this Division if the arbitrator is of opinion that there was reasonable excuse for the noncompliance.’.
If a provision of a law is numbered in a way that is inconsistent with current legislative drafting practice—
the provision may be renumbered in a way that is consistent with current legislative drafting practice; and
all necessary consequential numbering amendments may be made.
A notice to terminate is sufficiently given if—
it is delivered to a person apparently over 18 who apparently resides on the premises; or
it is advertised in a daily newspaper circulating in the district in which the premises are situated.
Where a proceeding for the recovery of the possession of land or premises is taken in reliance on a notice to terminate given in a manner provided in subsection (3) (a) , any occupier of the land or other person claiming an interest in the land or premises shall be entitled to be heard in the proceeding.
Section 43 (4) has also been applied to this example.
Nothing in this section shall affect the right of a landlord to give notice to terminate otherwise than as provided in this section.’.
