# The Local Government Changes (Rent Act Registration Areas) Order 1998, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order specifies the registration areas for the counties named in article 2 for the purposes of Part IV of the Rent Act 1977 (registration of rent under regulated tenancies). Registration areas are the organisational units for the rent officer service and rent assessment committees and each English county is a registration area except if, as in this Order, a contrary provision is made. The Order is made in consequence of the reorganisation of local government in the areas mentioned in article 2.
