In this Order the Secretary of State approves a code of practice relating to the management of residential property by landlords and others who discharge management functions. The approval is subject to the transitional provision in article 3.

The code is “The Association of Retirement Housing Managers' Code of Practice for the Management of Leasehold Sheltered Housing”. It is to be published by the Association of Retirement Housing Managers and to be printed by RAP Ltd., 201 Spotland Road, Rochester, Kent, ME1 2AB (ISBN 0-9526691-0-2).

Failure to comply with any provision of the code of practice does not of itself render any person liable to any proceedings, but in any proceedings, this code of practice shall be admissible as evidence and any provision which appears to be relevant to any question arising in the proceedings shall be taken into account.
