(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the forms of notice (prescribed by the Rent Act (Forms of Notice) Regulations 1982) which must be inserted in rent books or other similar documents under section 5 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 where a person has a right to occupy premises as a residence at a rent payable weekly and the value of board is not a substantial part of the rent. The forms relate to restricted contracts and regulated tenancies under the Rent Act 1977 (c. 42), statutory tenancies under the Rent (Agriculture) Act 1976 (c. 80) and assured tenancies and agricultural occupancies under the Housing Act 1988 (c. 50). The amendments update references to relevant booklets and relate to the abolition of domestic rating.
