Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations.) — published with the instrument by the department that made it. © Crown copyright, reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

Article 38 of the Rent (Northern Ireland) Order 1978 (rent books for private tenancies) requires the landlord of a private tenancy to provide the tenant with a rent book. Article 38(2) provides for a rent book to contain such particulars and information as may be prescribed. Regulation 1 relates to citation, commencement and interpretation. Regulations 2 and 3 set out the particulars and information to be contained in a rent book. Regulation 4 revokes the Rent Book Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1983 (S.R. 1983 No. 267). The Schedule sets out additional information to be contained in rent books depending on the nature of the tenancy.

What Parliament said about it

Hansard was searched for this instrument by name and returned nothing. That is the ordinary outcome: an instrument laid under the negative procedure is usually never debated, and becomes law without a word said about it in either House.

How Parliament handled it

Parliament's Statutory Instruments service records procedure from May 2017 onwards, and this instrument predates it. That is a limit of the source, not a statement that nothing happened.
