EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

Under section 52(1)(c) of the Housing Act 1980, for a tenancy to be a protected shorthold tenancy, either a fair rent for the dwelling-house must be registered under the Rent Act 1977 (c. 42) at the time the tenancy is granted, or a certificate of fair rent must have been obtained at that time and an application for registration must be made within 28 days and not withdrawn. The Protected Shorthold Tenancies (Rent Registration) Order 1981 removed this requirement for all registration areas outside Greater London. This Order revokes the 1981 Order and removes this requirement generally, i.e. for all registration areas within, as well as outside, Greater London.
