Disposition versions
1950. A new lessee or a sublessee may apply to the court to have the rent fixed if his rent is higher than the lowest rent paid during the 12 months preceding the beginning of the lease or sublease, as the case may be, unless that rent has already been fixed by the court.
He may apply only within 10 days after the lease or sublease has been entered into. If at the time the lease or sublease is entered into he has not received the notice from the lessor indicating the lowest rent paid in the preceding year, he may apply not later than two months after the beginning of the lease or sublease; where the lessor has given a notice containing a misrepresentation, the new lessee or sublessee may apply not later than two months after becoming aware of that fact.
