3 (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a head of a household
4 to whom a rent increase exemption order/tax abatement certificate has
5 been issued under this chapter, chapter three or chapter four of this
6 title who has become ineligible for such rent increase exemption
7 order/tax abatement certificate as a result of a temporary increase in
8 income for a period of time that does not exceed two years, may, upon

11 this title, apply to the supervising agency, subject to the terms and
12 conditions imposed by such relevant chapter, for a rent increase

14 unit to which the original rent increase exemption order/tax abatement
15 certificate applied, and such order/certificate shall provide that the
16 head of the household shall be exempt from paying that portion of the

18 head of the household was required to pay in the dwelling unit prior to
19 his or her increase in income which caused the temporary ineligibility,
20 plus any non-exempt increases in such maximum rent which may have
21 occurred during the temporary period of ineligibility.
22 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply to rele-
23 vant applications for the senior citizen rent increase exemption bene-
24 fits filed on or after such date.
