34: Transitional provision relating to bonds
or “This rule used to explain how to handle money deposits for renting, but it's not used anymore.”
You could also call this:

“This rule about fair and balanced rent prices no longer applies.”

This section of the law used to talk about fair rents and equitable rents. However, it has been removed from the law. The government took it out on 1 May 1996. This means that this part of the law no longer applies, and you don’t need to worry about what it used to say. If you want to know more about why it was removed, you can look at section 16 of the Residential Tenancies Amendment Act 1996.
