Explanatory note

The Assured Tenancies and Agricultural Occupancies (Rent Information) Order 1988, which this Order amends, specifies the information on rents of assured tenancies and assured agricultural occupancies which is to be made publicly available by the President of each rent assessment panel, the manner in which it is to be made available and the fee for a certified copy of the information. Under this Order further information is specified where a rent assessment committee is precluded by section 22(3) of the Housing Act 1988 from making a determination in relation to an assured shorthold tenancy. The Order also clarifies article 2 of the earlier Order (cases in which that Order applies).
