Section 121AA — Housing Act 2004: Information to help tenants decide whether to exercise right to buy etc.

Information to help tenants decide whether to exercise right to buy etc. 121AA 1 Every body which lets dwelling-houses under secure tenancies shall prepare a document that contains information for its secure tenants about such matters as are specified in an order made by the Secretary of State.

2 The matters that may be so specified are matters which the Secretary of State considers that it would be desirable for secure tenants to have information about when considering whether to exercise the right to buy or the right to acquire on rent to mortgage terms.

3 The information contained in the document shall be restricted to information about the specified matters, and the information about those matters—

a shall be such as the body concerned considers appropriate, but b shall be in a form which the body considers best suited to explaining those matters in simple terms.

4 Once a body has prepared the document required by subsection (1), it shall revise it as often as it considers necessary in order to ensure that the information contained in it—

a is kept up to date so far as is reasonably practicable, and b reflects any changes in the matters for the time being specified in an order under this section.

5 An order under this section shall be made by statutory instrument which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.
