RESIDENTIAL TENANCIES ACT 1987 - SECT 14

14 Continuation of fixed term agreements

(1) If a residential tenancy agreement (having no provision in its terms for continuation) that creates a tenancy for a fixed term continues after the day on which the term ends and notice of termination has not been given before that day in accordance with this Act, then:

(a) the residential tenancy agreement shall continue to apply on the same terms (other than any term relating to termination of the agreement) as last applying before that day, and

(b) the residential tenancy agreement so continues on the basis that the tenant is holding over under a periodic tenancy.

(2) The Tribunal may, on application by a landlord or a tenant, modify the terms (including terms contained in any standard form but not any terms set out in Part 3) of a residential tenancy agreement included in the agreement by this section as it considers appropriate for the continuation of the agreement.
