-
when a new lease is granted to the same tenant, to take effect immediately
-
when a new lease is made under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993
-
when a deed of variation changes the length of a registered lease by increasing the term or adds new land to the extent demised by a registered lease
