These Regulations amend the Housing (Change of Landlord) Regulations 1989 by the insertion of Part IX (new regulations 20 and 21).

The Regulations are made under Part IV of the Housing Act 1988 ("the Act") under which the secure tenant of a public sector landlord ("the landlord") may choose to become the tenant of an approved person who has applied under Part IV to become his new landlord. Section 108 of, and Schedule 12 to, the Act provide as to registration of title and related matters arising on acquisitions of property under Part IV and disposals of property so acquired. Paragraph 3(1) of Schedule 12 requires the landlord which was the lessee under a lease granted under section 104(1)(b) of the Act to furnish a statement to the Chief Land Registrar at a prescribed time if the lease comes to an end in prescribed circumstances.

New regulation 20 prescribes those circumstances, and new regulation 21 prescribes the time at which the statement must be furnished. The form of the statement is prescribed by the Housing (Change of Landlord) (Prescribed Forms) (Amendment) Regulations 1990 (S.I. 1990/1059), regulation 2(7) and Schedule 3.
