(2) A landlord who has obtained possession of a building in pursuance of an order made under sub-section (1) shall use it only for his own occupation or for the occupation of any member of his family, and if he fails to do so proposes either to let out or keep vacant the whole or any part of the building for a period exceeding that permitted by the Authorised Officer by order in writing, he shall give notice as required under section 4 as if the building had fallen vacant.
