Prospective
Tenancies of dwelling houses granted by bodies approved under section 56 of the Housing Act 1980 are assured tenancies (within the meaning of that Act) if the conditions of section 56 are satisfied. An approved body wishing to let the dwelling house on a protected tenancy or, as the case may be, a housing association tenancy, rather than an assured tenancy, may do so by giving the tenant a valid notice to this effect before the grant of the tenancy.
Section 56(7) of the 1980 Act provides that a notice is not valid unless it complies with the requirements of regulations made by the Secretary of State. These regulations require that the notice is in the form set out in the Schedule or in a form substantially to the like effect.
