69 Effect of orders
(1) If the ACAT makes an order under section 68A (a) or (c), the rental
rate increase takes effect from the date when the proposed increase
would, apart from section 66, have taken place.
(2) The ACAT may, on application, grant a tenant time to pay rent owed
because of the operation of subsection (1).
(a) the ACAT makes an order mentioned in section 68A (b) or (c);
and
(b) despite section 66, the tenant has paid the lessor the full amount
of the rental rate increase proposed by the lessor;
the ACAT may order the lessor to pay to the tenant the difference
between the amount the tenant paid to the lessor and the amount that
was payable.
