Explanatory note

Section 56 of the Housing Act 1980 deals with assured tenancies. Such tenancies are subject to Part II of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 (c. 56) as modified by Schedule 5 to the 1980 Act if they would otherwise have been protected tenancies under the Rent Act 1977 (c. 42). They can only be granted by bodies approved under section 56 of the 1980 Act in respect of dwelling-houses erected after the passing of that Act.

This order approves four bodies for the purposes of section 56.
