(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

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