This Order specifies the descriptions of tenancies and licences of houses, or of dwellings contained in houses, that are exempt tenancies or licences for the purposes of Part 3 of the Housing Act 2004 (“the Act”). The effect of the exemption is that Part 3 of the Act does not apply to houses in England that are subject to a tenancy or licence described in article 2 and they are not, therefore, subject to the licensing requirements described in section 85 of the Act.
