(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order brings into force, in Wales, various provisions of the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 (“the 2014 Act”).
Article 2 brings into force, in relation to Wales, provisions relating to discretionary grounds for ordering possession of secure and assured tenancies (section 98).
Section 99 of the 2014 Act comes into force on 13 May 2014 (S.I. 2014/949) in England and Wales, although that section applies in relation to dwelling houses in England only. For that reason, article 2 also brings into force in Wales, the supplemental provisions relating to the recovery of possession of dwelling houses on grounds of anti-social behaviour (section 100(1)).
Article 3 makes transitory modifications to section 138 of, and Schedule 1 to, the Housing Act 1985 and Schedule 1 to the Housing Act 1988 until sections 94 to 97 of the 2014 Act (absolute grounds for possession) come into force.
A note as to earlier Commencement Orders is available on request from the Housing Policy Division, Welsh Government, Rhydycar Business Park, Merthyr Tydfil, CF48 1UZ.
