  "short_title": "Rent Officers (Additional Functions) 1995",
  "long_title": "This Order revokes and re-enacts with modifications the Rent Officers (Additional Functions) Order 1990, which conferred functions on rent officers in connection with housing benefit and rent allowance subsidy and required rent officers to make determinations and redeterminations relating to a tenancy or licence of a dwelling. The Order adds requirements for rent officers to make determinations for prospective tenancies and licences (article 2), to determine local reference rents (paragraph 4 of Schedule 1) and to determine indicative rent levels (Part 4 of Schedule 1). It removes the requirement for rent officers to make interim determinations.",
