A Bill to provide that Crown tenancies may be assured tenancies for the purposes of the Housing Act 1988, subject to certain exceptions; to modify the assured tenancies regime in relation to certain Crown tenancies; and for connected purposes.
The Crown Tenancies Bill would allow tenancies held by the Crown to be treated as assured tenancies under the Housing Act 1988, with some exceptions. It also adjusts how the assured-tenancy framework applies to Crown properties and includes related measures.
The bill is currently at Committee stage in the House of Commons, where amendments are being considered. If it progresses, it would move to report stage and third reading in the Commons, then to the Lords.
