Section 4 — Housing Act 1988: Certain sublettings not to exclude any part of sub-lessor’s premises from assured tenancy.

Certain sublettings not to exclude any part of sub-lessor’s premises from assured tenancy. 4 1 Where the tenant of a dwelling-house has sub-let a part but not the whole of the dwelling-house, then, as against his landlord or any superior landlord, no part of the dwelling-house shall be treated as excluded from being a dwelling-house let on an assured tenancy by reason only that the terms on which any person claiming under the tenant holds any part of the dwelling-house include the use of accommodation in common with other persons.

2 Nothing in this section affects the rights against, and liabilities to, each other of the tenant and any person claiming under him, or of any two such persons.
