(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Rent Officers (Additional Functions) Order 1989 which provided in certain cases for the rent officer to make determinations, or re-determinations, relating to a tenancy or licence of a dwelling with reference to the time the application for the determination was made. Article 2(2) and (3) amends paragraphs 1 and 2 of Schedule 1 so that the relevant time under those paragraphs (or those paragraphs as applied for re-determinations by Schedule 4) will be the time the tenancy or licence ended if that was before the application for the determination was made. The amendment made by article 2(4) stops the provision of meals being treated as the provision of services for the purposes of determinations and re-determinations under paragraph 3 of Schedule 1 (or that paragraph as applied by Schedule 4). Article 2(5) amends paragraph 1 of Schedule 2 (tenancy or licence excluded because of recent earlier determination) to cover the case where a tenancy or licence ended before the earlier determination was made. Article 2(1) and (6) alters the size criteria (for an occupier who is at least 16, but under 18, years old) in Schedule 3 which is relevant for determinations and re-determinations under paragraph 2 of Schedule 1 (or that paragraph as applied by Schedule 4).
S.I. 1989/590.
