omit proposed new section 15 (5), substitute

• This Act does not prevent the commissioner for housing from requiring a tenant to agree to pay an outstanding amount owed by the tenant to the commissioner for housing in relation to a previous tenancy in consideration for giving the tenant a right to occupy premises if the tribunal has, under section 10, endorsed the term of the residential tenancy agreement requiring the payment.

• The inclusion in a residential tenancy agreement of a term requiring payment of an outstanding amount owed by the tenant to the commissioner for housing does not prevent—

• the commissioner and the tenant agreeing to the tenant repaying the outstanding amount over a period of time longer than the period set out in the term; or

• the commissioner from taking action against the tenant in relation to the outstanding amount.
