Whole provisions yet to be inserted into this Act (including any effects on those provisions):
2(1)This paragraph applies where a lease is granted to a public sector landlord in pursuance of paragraph 2 of Schedule 9.E+W
(2)Where—
(a)immediately before the appropriate time the public sector landlord was the immediate landlord under a secure tenancy [F1or an introductory tenancy] of a flat contained in the demised premises, and
(b)that tenancy continues in force after the grant of the lease referred to in sub-paragraph (1),
the tenant shall be deemed to have continued without interruption as tenant of the landlord under the secure tenancy [F1or, as the case may be, the introductory tenancy], despite the disposal of the landlord’s interest which immediately preceded the grant of the lease referred to in that sub-paragraph.
(3)Where—
(a)immediately before the appropriate time a person was a successor in relation to a secure tenancy [F2or an introductory tenancy] of a flat contained in the demised premises, and
(b)that person is, in connection with the grant of the lease referred to in sub-paragraph (1), granted a new secure tenancy of that flat which is a tenancy for a term certain,
then for the purposes of sections 87 to 90 of the M1Housing Act 1985 (succession on death of tenant) that person shall also be a successor in relation to the new tenancy.
(4)Where—
(a)immediately before the appropriate time a person was the tenant under a secure tenancy [F3or an introductory tenancy] of a flat contained in the demised premises, and
(b)that person is, in connection with the grant of the lease referred to in sub-paragraph (1), granted a new secure tenancy [F3or introductory tenancy] of that flat,
then, for the purpose of determining whether either of the conditions referred to in sub-paragraph (5) is satisfied, the new tenancy shall not be regarded as a new letting of the flat but shall instead be regarded as a continuation of the secure tenancy [or introductory tenancy] referred to in paragraph (a) above.
(5)Those conditions are—
(a)the condition specified in sub-paragraph (1)(b) of paragraph 5 of Schedule 5 to the Housing Act 1985 (exception to the right to buy in case of letting in connection with employment); and
(b)the condition specified in sub-paragraph (1)(b) of paragraph 11 of that Schedule (exception to the right to buy in case of letting for occupation by person of pensionable age etc.).
(6)In this paragraph—
(a)any reference to a secure tenancy [F4or an introductory tenancy] of a flat is a reference to a secure tenancy [F4or an introductory tenancy] of a flat whether with or without any yard, garden, garage, outhouses or appurtenances belonging to or usually enjoyed with it; and
(b)any reference to a flat includes a reference to a unit (other than a flat) which is used as a dwelling.
(7)In this paragraph—
(a)“the appropriate time” and “the demised premises” have the same meaning as in Schedule 9; and
(b)“successor” has the same meaning as in section 88 of the M2Housing Act 1985 [F5in relation to a secure tenancy and as in section 132 of the Housing Act 1996 in relation to an introductory tenancy.].
