(1) The Commissioner may make a determination specifying premises occupied by a complainant and declaring that the Commissioner is satisfied that the complainant should remain in occupation of the premises while the determination remains in force.

(2) Subject to this section, the Commissioner may determine the period during which the determination remains in force.

(3) While it remains in force, the determination operates as a stay on all action and proceedings for the eviction of the complainant (and any members of the complainant’s household or any other persons specified in the determination) from the premises. However, the determination does not operate on action or proceedings of a kind specified in the determination as being excluded from its operation.

(4) The Commissioner may vary or revoke the determination at any time.
