Regulation 22 Saving provision: lease ceasing to be relevant social housing leaseI1

England and Wales

(1)

This regulation applies where the covenant in section 10A(2) of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 (“the implied covenant”) ceases to be implied in a lease because the lease ceases to be a relevant social housing lease^f1.

(2)

Where the implied covenant ceases to be implied in the lease because the lessor ceases to be a registered provider of social housing, any requirement under these Regulations that arises before that occurs continues to have effect.

(3)

Despite the fact that the implied covenant ceases to be implied in the lease, the lessor continues to be liable for—

(a)

any breach of a requirement under these Regulations which occurs before the implied covenant ceases to have effect;

(b)

any breach of a requirement under these Regulations that continues to have effect by virtue of paragraph (2).
