63C Recognising persons as long‑stay tenants

(1)

This section applies if —

(a)

a person (resident) is not a long‑stay tenant but is residing in agreed premises the subject of a long‑stay agreement; and

(b)

the resident asks the park operator who is a party to the long‑stay agreement to vary the agreement to add the resident as a long‑stay tenant; and

(c)

the park operator refuses to vary the long‑stay agreement.

(2)

The resident may apply to the State Administrative Tribunal to be recognised as a long‑stay tenant in respect of the agreed premises.

(3)

The application may be made —

(a)

during another application or a proceeding before the tribunal; or

(b)

when no application or proceeding is before the tribunal.

(4)

The State Administrative Tribunal may, if the tribunal considers it is appropriate —

(a)

order —

(i)

that the long‑stay agreement is varied so that the resident is a long‑stay tenant who is a party to the agreement, and is taken for any written law or the agreement to be a tenant under the agreement; and

(ii)

that the long‑stay agreement be continued on the terms and conditions that the tribunal considers are appropriate;

or

(b)

order that the resident is joined as a party to an application or a proceeding before the tribunal.

(5)

In making an order under subsection (4), the State Administrative Tribunal must consider whether the resident is suitable to be recognised as a long‑stay tenant in respect of the agreed premises.

Example for this subsection:

The agreed premises the resident is occupying is within a residential park, or part of a park, to which section 20(1) applies and the resident has not reached the age at which the resident is permitted to live on the agreed premises.
