Explanatory note

These Regulations amend the Assured Tenancies and Agricultural Occupancies (Forms) Regulations 1988 and are consequential on the introduction of the council tax under the Local Government Finance Act 1992. They amend forms No. 1 and 2 and 5 to 8 prescribed by those Regulations and they prescribe two new forms. The new forms relate to the transitional case under the Local Government Finance (Housing) (Consequential Amendments) Order 1993 in which rent under an assured tenancy or agricultural occupancy may be increased to take into account a tenant’s liability to make payments to his landlord in respect of council tax.
