         relation to requiring that the stabilization code  provide  that  upon

    5  WHERE THE TENANT FAILS TO TIMELY  RENEW  AN  EXPIRING  LEASE  OR  RENTAL
    6  AGREEMENT  OFFERED  PURSUANT TO THIS LAW, AND REMAINS IN OCCUPANCY AFTER
    7  EXPIRATION OF THE LEASE, SUCH LEASE OR RENTAL AGREEMENT MAY BE DEEMED TO
    8  HAVE BEEN RENEWED UPON THE SAME TERMS AND CONDITIONS, AT THE LEGAL REGU-
    9  LATED RENT, TOGETHER WITH ANY GUIDELINES  ADJUSTMENTS  THAT  WOULD  HAVE
   10  BEEN  APPLICABLE  HAD THE OFFER OF A RENEWAL LEASE BEEN TIMELY ACCEPTED.

   18  PRESCRIBED BY LAW.
   19    S  2.  This  act shall take effect on the thirtieth day after it shall
   20  have become a law; and provided that the amendments to section 26-511 of
   21  chapter 4 of title 26 of the administrative code of the city of New York
   22  made by section one of this act shall expire on the same  date  as  such

   24  under section 26-520 of such law.
