Housing Act 2004

Appeals: decisions relating to EDMOs

26 (1) A relevant person may appeal to a residential property tribunal against—

(a) a decision of the local housing authority to make a final EDMO,

(b) the terms of a final EDMO (including the terms of the management scheme contained in it), or

(c) the terms of an interim EDMO on the grounds that they do not provide for one or both of the matters mentioned in paragraph 5(5)(a) and (b) (which relate to payments of surplus rent etc.).

(2) Where an appeal is made under sub-paragraph (1)(c)—

(a) the appeal may be brought at any time while the order is in force (with the result that nothing in sub-paragraph (3) or paragraph 27 applies in relation to the appeal); and

(b) the powers of the residential property tribunal under paragraph 28 are limited to determining whether the order should be varied by the tribunal so as to include a term providing for the matter or matters in question, and (if so) what provision should be made by the term.

(3) If no appeal is brought under this paragraph in respect of a final EDMO within the time allowed by paragraph 27 for making such an appeal, the order is final and conclusive as to the matters which could have been raised on appeal.
