Restricted and regulated tenancies7

Where, immediately before the commencement of this Order—

a tenancy to which the Rent Restriction Acts applied subsisted in a dwelling-house to which those Acts applied; and

b

the net annual value of the dwelling-house is less than £60,

a restricted rent certificate shall, subject to Article 9(3), be deemed to have been served under Article 8 on that commencement on the landlord of that dwelling-house in respect of the dwelling-house.
