Resource information
A landlord wishing to end a demoted tenancy must serve the tenant with a notice stating that he or she has decided to apply to the court for an order for possession, setting out the reasons for that decision and informing the tenant of his right to request a review of the decision. These Regulations make provision about the procedure to be followed in such a review. Regulation 2 provides that a review must be undertaken by a person who was not involved in the original decision. If the original decision was made by an officer then any review of that decision by another officer may only be carried out by an officer occupying a more senior position within the landlord's organization than the officer who made the original decision. Regulation 3 requires the landlord to give the tenant notice of the date of the review. Regulation 4 enables the tenant to obtain an oral hearing in certain circumstances and explains how that right may be exercised. Regulations 5 to 9 set out the details of the review procedure.
