Interim management orders: variation and revocation

I1111Variation of interim management orders

1

The local housing authority may vary an interim management order if they consider it appropriate to do so.

2

A variation does not come into force until such time, if any, as is the operative time for the purposes of this subsection under paragraph 31 of Schedule 6 (time when period for appealing expires without an appeal being made or when decision to vary is confirmed on appeal).

3

The power to vary an order under this section is exercisable by the authority either—

a

on an application made by a relevant person, or

b

on the authority’s own initiative.

4

In this section “relevant person” means—

a

any person who has an estate or interest in the house or part of it (but is not a tenant under a lease with an unexpired term of 3 years or less), or

b

any other person who (but for the order) would be a person managing or having control of the house or part of it.
