 payable  at  the  time when the special proceeding was commenced and the
 reasonable value of the use and occupation to the time when the  warrant
 was  [issued] EXECUTED, for any period of time with respect to which the
 agreement does not make any provision for payment of rent.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately and  shall  apply  to  all
 causes of action occurring on or after such date.
 
 
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
