(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations replace the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, Part II (Notices) Regulations 1983.
Regulation 3 of these Regulations prescribes the form of various notices relevant to business tenancies. The prescribed forms are set out in Schedule 2. Forms that are substantially to the same effect as those prescribed may be used (regulation 2(2)).
The purposes for which the prescribed forms are to be used are specified in Schedule 1.
The forms prescribed by these Regulations reflect amendments to Part 2 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 made by the Regulatory Reform (Business Tenancies) (England and Wales) Order 2003 (S.I. 2003/3096).
Regulation 4 revokes the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, Part II (Notices) Regulations 1983 and the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, Part II (Notices) (Amendment) Regulations 1989.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument, as it has no impact on the costs of businesses, charities or voluntary bodies.
