Extending period of deferral for declared hardship area
57 Extending period of deferral for declared hardship area
This section applies if the Minister considers it appropriate to extend the period of deferral for payment of rent or instalments for an affected tenure, whether or not the period has previously been extended for the tenure under this section.
The Minister may, by amending the hardship deferral declaration, extend the period of deferral for the payment of rent or instalments for all of the affected tenures for a further period starting immediately after the end of the last deferral period stated in the declaration (the declared extended period).
The Minister may, by notice given to the holder of a particular affected tenure, extend the period of deferral for the payment of rent or instalments for the tenure for a period stated in the notice (a notified extended period).
A notified extended period must end after the end of the deferral period stated in the hardship deferral declaration.
If the period of deferral is extended for all affected tenures under subsection (2) and, but for this subsection, the declared extended period would end after a notified extended period for a particular tenure, the notified extended period is taken to have been further extended until the end of the declared extended period.
