Explanatory note

These regulations, which apply in England and Wales, regulate the procedure to be followed by rent assessment committees appointed under Part IV of the Rent Act 1968. They supplement the provisions regulating the procedure to be followed by those committees which are contained in Schedules 6 and 7 to the Rent Act 1968 (which relate to applications for the registration of rents and to applications for certificates of fair rent) and in Part II of Schedule 2 to the Housing Act 1969 (which relates to applications for the registration of a rent where that registration will be the first after a tenancy has been converted from control to regulation under Part III of the Housing Act).
