  (E) NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF LAW, A HEAD OF A  HOUSEHOLD
TO  WHOM  A  RENT INCREASE EXEMPTION ORDER/TAX ABATEMENT CERTIFICATE HAS
BEEN ISSUED UNDER THIS CHAPTER, CHAPTER THREE OR CHAPTER  FOUR  OF  THIS
TITLE  WHO  HAS  BECOME  INELIGIBLE  FOR  SUCH  RENT  INCREASE EXEMPTION
ORDER/TAX ABATEMENT CERTIFICATE AS A RESULT OF A TEMPORARY  INCREASE  IN
INCOME  FOR  A  PERIOD OF TIME THAT DOES NOT EXCEED TWO YEARS, MAY, UPON
RESUMPTION  OF  RECEIPT  OF  AN   INCOME   THAT   QUALIFIES   FOR   SUCH
ORDER/CERTIFICATE  UNDER  THIS CHAPTER, CHAPTER THREE OR CHAPTER FOUR OF
THIS TITLE, APPLY TO THE SUPERVISING AGENCY, SUBJECT TO  THE  TERMS  AND
CONDITIONS  IMPOSED  BY  SUCH  RELEVANT  CHAPTER,  FOR  A  RENT INCREASE
EXEMPTION ORDER/TAX ABATEMENT CERTIFICATE RELATING TO THE SAME  DWELLING
UNIT  TO  WHICH THE ORIGINAL RENT INCREASE EXEMPTION ORDER/TAX ABATEMENT
CERTIFICATE APPLIED, AND SUCH ORDER/CERTIFICATE SHALL PROVIDE  THAT  THE
HEAD  OF  THE  HOUSEHOLD SHALL BE EXEMPT FROM PAYING THAT PORTION OF THE
MAXIMUM RENT FOR THE DWELLING UNIT WHICH EXCEEDS THE LAST RENT THAT  THE
HEAD  OF THE HOUSEHOLD WAS REQUIRED TO PAY IN THE DWELLING UNIT PRIOR TO
HIS OR HER INCREASE IN INCOME WHICH CAUSED THE TEMPORARY  INELIGIBILITY,
PLUS  ANY  NON-EXEMPT  INCREASES  IN  SUCH  MAXIMUM  RENT WHICH MAY HAVE
OCCURRED DURING THE TEMPORARY PERIOD OF INELIGIBILITY.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply  to  rele-
vant  applications  for the senior citizen rent increase exemption bene-
