Explanatory note

These regulations amend the Rent Assessment Committees (England and Wales) (Rent Tribunal) Regulations 1980 in respect of references made to a rent tribunal after 1st January 1982.

The amendments are to reduce from 14 days to 7 days the minimum time within which either representations in writing or a request to be heard may be made to the tribunal, and reduce from 14 clear days to 7 clear days the minimum period of notice the tribunal must give of the time and place of a hearing if one is requested.
