Purchase by tenants formerly in possession of holdings.

13.—(1) Where the tenancy of a holding has been determined since the first day of May one thousand eight hundred and seventy-nine, and the former landlord or his successor in title is in occupation of the holding, it shall be lawful for the former landlord or his successor in title, within [1 six months of the passing of this Act,] to enter into an agreement under the Land Purchase Acts, or the said Acts as amended by this Act, for the sale of the holding to the former tenant or his personal representatives.

(2) An advance for such purpose may be made by the Land Commission, in the same manner and subject to the same conditions as if the purchaser was at the date of the agreement in possession of the holding as tenant, and thereupon all the provisions of the Land Purchase Acts as amended by this Act shall apply to such agreement and advance.

(3) If the Land Commission are of opinion that the holding would be sufficient security for the advance but for its having become temporarily deteriorated in value, they may make the advance upon the purchaser providing such security as they may deem sufficient to meet any risk arising from such temporary deterioration.
