Residential Tenancies Act 1986

Schedule 2: Enactments repealed

You could also call this:

“List of older renting laws removed when this Act started”

This schedule lists several laws that were repealed when the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 came into effect. The repealed laws include the Rent Appeal Act 1973 and its amendment from 1977. It also repeals the Tenancy Act 1955 and its amendments from 1964, 1968, and 1977.

When a law is repealed, it means it is no longer in force. This schedule shows that the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 replaced older laws about renting and tenancies. By repealing these older laws, the government made sure that there wouldn’t be any confusion about which rules to follow.

This change meant that people who rent homes and the people who own those homes had to follow the new rules in the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 instead of the old laws listed in this schedule.
