# The Housing (Right to Buy) (Prescribed Forms) Regulations 1986, Note: Explanatory note


These regulations prescribe the forms of notice for use in connection with the right to buy under sections 122(1) and 124(1) of the Housing Act 1985 (regulations 2 and 3) and the particulars to be contained in them (regulation 4). The forms are—
(a) the form of notice to be used by a secure tenant to claim the right to buy (Form RTB1); and
(b) the form of notice to be used by a landlord to accept or reject the tenant's claim (Form RTB2).
The forms replace those prescribed by the Housing (Right to Buy) (Prescribed Forms) Regulations 1984 which are revoked (regulation 5(1)). A notice claiming the right to buy served by a secure tenant before 7th March 1987 is not invalidated by these regulations if it is in the form required by the 1984 Regulations or in a substantially similar form (regulations 5(2)).
