Authority may take possession of the land
8 Authority may take possession of the land
The [name of Authority] is now able to enter the land, take possession and occupy it. The Authority will try to agree with you about possession. If the [name of Authority] wants to occupy the land and you live on the land as your principal place of residence or if it is your main place of business then you can continue to occupy the land for 3 months from the day the land was acquired rent-free unless—
you agree with the [name of Authority] to leave earlier; or
you leave the land earlier; or
the Governor in Council certifies that it is not practicable for the [name of Authority] to wait 3 months.
In any case, the [name of Authority] must give you at least 7 days' written notice before it can take possession.
You may be permitted to stay longer than 3 months if you reach agreement with the [name of Authority] to remain and agree on an amount of rent you will pay.
If you have agreed to leave or if the 7 days' notice has expired and you do not leave, you may incur extra costs for which you will not be compensated, including fair market rent.
