Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Assured and Protected Tenancies (Lettings to Students) Regulations 1988 (“the 1988 Regulations”). Regulation 4A, as substituted, specifies all housing associations registered by the Housing Corporation or Housing for Wales as bodies for the purposes of paragraph 8 of Schedule 1 to the Housing Act 1988. A tenancy granted by such a body to a student or prospective student at an educational institution specified in the 1988 Regulations is not an assured tenancy for the purposes of that Act. Schedule 2 to the 1988 Regulations, as substituted, (which lists particular bodies specified for the purposes of the said paragraph 8) accordingly omits references to those bodies previously listed which are registered housing associations. Two bodies, the London School of Economics Housing Association and the London Mission (West London) Circuit Meeting of the Methodist Church, are also added to Schedule 2.l

Schedule 1 to the 1988 Regulations is amended so as to take account of the change in name of certain bodies already listed therein.
