No tenant having a right of occupancy in any land shall, in case of dispute as to the rent to be paid in respect of such land, be liable to an enhancement of the rent except in pursuance of a decree made under this Act on some one of the following grounds (that is to say):— 1st Ground.—That the rate of rent paid by him is below the rate of rent usually paid by the same class of tenants having a right of occupancy, for land of a similar description and with similar advantages, situate in the same village. Rule.—In this case the Court shall enhance his rent to such amount as the plaintiff demands, not exceeding such rate. 2nd Ground.—That the rate of rent paid by him is more than 12½ per cent. below the rate of rent usually paid by tenants of the same class not having a right of occupancy, for land of a similar description and with similar advantages, situate in the same village. Rule.—In this case the Court shall enhance his rent to such amount as the plaintiff demands, not exceeding such rate less 12½ per cent. 3rd Ground.—That the quantity of land held by him exceeds the quantity for which he has previously paid rent. Rule.—In this case the Court shall decree rent for the land in excess, at rates to be fixed by the first or the second of the Rules contained in this section, as the case may be. Nothing contained in the previous part of this section shall affect the terms of any agreement in writing hereafter entered into between a landlord and tenant.
