In accordance with Chapter 1 of Part 2 of the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002 (“the 2002 Act”), a company, referred to in that Chapter as a RTM company, may acquire and exercise rights in relation to the management of premises. Section 73(2) of the 2002 Act provides that a company is a RTM company in relation to premises if it is a private company limited by guarantee and its articles of association state that its object, or one of its objects, is the acquisition and exercise of the right to manage those premises. Subsections (3) to (5) of that section describe companies that are not RTM companies and the circumstances in which a RTM company ceases to be a company of that description. Section 74(2) of the 2002 Act provides that “the appropriate national authority” shall make regulations about the content and form of articles of association of RTM companies. Section 179(1) of the 2002 Act provides for the Secretary of State to be “the appropriate national authority” as respects England.
