### sec.17 Order and numbering of provisions A document purporting to be a residential tenancy agreement or rooming accommodation agreement is taken not to include the standard terms or replacement terms if— the order in which the standard terms or replacement terms appear in the document is different from the order of the terms as they appear in the relevant schedule for the agreement; or the way the standard terms or replacement terms are numbered is different from the way the terms are numbered in the relevant schedule for the agreement; or the tenancy information or rooming accommodation information for the agreement is not properly included in the document as part 1 of the agreement. However, a subclause in a residential tenancy agreement or rooming accommodation agreement may be numbered using a decimal numbering system instead of a numeric numbering system. Subclauses 2(1) to (7) of the standard terms of a general tenancy agreement may be numbered as subclauses 2.1 to 2.7. If a subclause in a residential tenancy agreement or rooming accommodation agreement is numbered using a decimal numbering system, all consequential numbering changes must be made. If a moveable dwelling tenancy agreement is numbered using a decimal numbering system, the reference in clause 29.3 of the standard terms of that agreement to ‘subclause (2)(a) and (b)’ must be changed to ‘subclause 29.2(a) and (b)’. In this section— relevant schedule means— for a general tenancy agreement— schedule 1 , part 2 ; or for a moveable dwelling tenancy agreement— schedule 2 , part 2 ; or for a State tenancy agreement— schedule 3 , part 2 ; or for a community housing provider tenancy agreement— schedule 4 , part 2 ; or for a rooming accommodation agreement— schedule 5 , part 2 .
