Deregulation Act 2015

Part 10: Housing

Housing Act 1988

991.Sections 56 to 58 of the Housing Act 1980 provided for a new form of tenancy known as the “assured tenancy”. This new form of tenancy was short-lived, as these tenancies were replaced by assured tenancies under the Housing Act 1988.

992.Section 37(1) of the Housing Act 1988 provided that no assured tenancy under the Housing Act 1980 could be entered into on or after 15 January 1989. Under section 1(3) of the Housing Act 1988, any assured tenancy that existed on that date under the provisions of the Housing Act 1980, became an assured tenancy under the Housing Act 1988.

993.Sections 56 to 58 of the Housing Act 1980 were, therefore, repealed by the Housing Act 1988. However, there was a saving provision in paragraph 3 of Schedule 18 to the Housing Act 1988 for those assured tenancies to which section 1(3) of the Housing Act 1988 did not apply.

994.Section 37(2) of the Housing Act 1988 provided that section 1(3) of that Act did not apply to an assured tenant under the Housing Act 1980 who, before 15 January 1989, had made an application to the court under section 24 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, for the grant of a new tenancy, and who, on that date, was still waiting for the court’s decision.

995.In any case where the court decided not to grant a new tenancy, the assured tenancy under the Housing Act 1980 would have ceased. In any case where the court did grant a new tenancy, section 37(2) of the Housing Act 1988 provided that the new tenancy would be an assured tenancy under the Housing Act 1988. This means that the saving provision in paragraph 3 of Schedule 18 to the Housing Act 1988 is no longer required (no relevant court decisions are still awaited).

996.Paragraph 46 provides that the saving provision in paragraph 3 of Schedule 18 to the Housing Act 1988 ceases to have effect in relation to tenancies of dwelling-houses in England (and so will continue only for Wales).

997.The paragraph forms part of the law of England and Wales, but the changes will only affect England. It comes into force at the end of the period of 2 months beginning with the day on which the Act is passed.

Nodiadau Esboniadol

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.

Asesiadau Effaith

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
