This Order is made under section 42(1)(a)(iii) of the Energy Act 2011 and comes into force on 1st April 2016.
Chapter 2 of Part 1 of that Act relates to properties in the private rented sector. Section 42(1)(a) defines what is meant by “domestic private rented property”, and this Order specifies certain tenancies of agricultural dwellings as additional categories of tenancy for the purposes of section 42(1)(a).
A property which is let on one of those tenancies is a domestic private rented property for the purposes of the Energy Efficiency (Private Rented Property) (England and Wales) Regulations 2015 which come into force on the same date.
A full regulatory impact assessment of the effect that those Regulations will have on the costs of business and the voluntary sector is annexed to the Explanatory Memorandum which is available alongside those Regulations and this Order on www.legislation.gov.uk.
