This Order, which applies in relation to Wales, amends the amount of annual rent above which a tenancy cannot be an assured tenancy under paragraph 2 of Schedule 1 to the Housing Act 1988. The amount is increased from £25,000 to £100,000 with effect from 1 December 2011.
A Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared in relation to this Order. A copy can be obtained from the Housing Directorate, Welsh Government, Merthyr Tydfil Office, Rhydycar, Merthyr Tydfil, CF48 1UZ.
1988 c. 50. Section 1(2A) was inserted by regulation 2 and paragraph 27 of the Schedule to the References to Rating (Housing) Regulations 1990 (S.I. 1990/434).
The functions of the Secretary of State under section 1(2A), so far as exercisable in relation to Wales, were transferred to the National Assembly for Wales by article 2 of the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/672); see the entry for the Housing Act 1988 in Schedule 1 to that Order.
