If the parties to a tenancy agree that, during a specified period or until the occurrence of a specified event, the tenant is entitled to pay a lower rent,—
the agreement is a variation of the tenancy agreement to which sections 13B and 13C apply; and
on the expiry of the period or the occurrence of the event, the rent payable before the variation is reinstated; and
that reinstatement does not constitute a rent increase.
