A Bill to make provision that occupiers of dwellings owned by certain forms of co-operatives shall occupy those dwellings by virtue of their membership of the co-operative and not as tenants or under any other type of property interest; to make provision for co-operative tenure and for the rights and obligations of the co-operative and its members; and for connected purposes.
The bill would change how people occupy homes owned by certain co-operatives, making occupancy arise from membership in the co-operative rather than from tenancy or any other property right. It would introduce a formal 'co-operative tenure' with clearly defined rights and obligations for both the co-operative and its members, along with related provisions to support this system.
The bill is currently at the second reading in the House of Commons. It originated in the Commons and is sponsored by Andrew Pakes.
