Paragraph 3 Reserve and Auxiliary Forces (Protection of Civil Interests) Act 1951I1I2

England and Wales

In section 17 (provision supplementary to section 16 of that Act) as it applies otherwise than to Scotland—

(b)

in subsection (2)—

(i)

in paragraph (a) omit “which is a periodic tenancy”;

(ii)

for paragraph (b) and the words after it substitute—

“(b)

immediately before the time when the tenancy would otherwise have come to an end as mentioned in paragraph (a)—

(i)

the tenant under the terms of the tenancy has the exclusive occupation of some accommodation (in this section referred to as “the separate accommodation”), and has the use of other accommodation in common with another person or other persons, not being or including the landlord, but

(ii)

by reason only of such circumstances as are mentioned in section 16(4), subsection (1) of section 3 of the Housing Act 1988 (provisions where tenant shares accommodation with persons other than landlord) does not have effect with respect to the separate accommodation,

during the remainder of the period of protection, section 3 of the Housing Act 1988 applies in relation to the separate accommodation as if the circumstances referred to in sub-paragraph (ii) did not exist and, accordingly, as if the tenancy had become an assured tenancy immediately before it would otherwise have come to an end.”;

(c)

in subsection (3) for “Neither subsection (1) nor subsection (2) above applies” substitute “Subsection (2) does not apply”.
