or “This explains how some old rules are removed and other rules are changed to make way for new ones.”

You could also call this:

“Rules about the COVID-19 sickness that are no longer used”

This part of the law was about special rules related to COVID-19. It was part of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986, which is about renting homes in New Zealand. However, this section no longer applies. It was removed from the law on 26 November 2022. This means that any special rules about renting that were put in place because of COVID-19 are no longer in effect.
