(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Schedule 14 to the Housing Act 2004 (“the Act”) lists types of building that are not houses in multiple occupation (“HMOs”) for the purposes of the Act (including Part 1, which deals with housing conditions). HMOs are defined in section 254 of the Act. Paragraph 4 of Schedule 14 to the Act refers to any building which is occupied solely or principally by persons who occupy it for the purpose of undertaking a full time course of further or higher education at a specified educational establishment, or at an educational establishment of a specified description, and where the person managing or controlling the building is the educational establishment in question, or a specified person, or a person of a specified description.
Regulation 2 and the Schedule to these Regulations specify educational establishments. Where a building is managed or controlled by an educational establishment which is listed in the Schedule to these Regulations and that educational establishment is a member of either code of practice referred to in regulation 2(b), then that building is not an HMO for the purposes of the Act (excluding Part 1).
These Regulations revoke the Houses in Multiple Occupation (Specified Educational Establishments) (England) Regulations 2012. They replace the list of educational establishments that were listed in the Schedule to those earlier Regulations.
