Section 133: Crown leases

226.Section 133 inserts a new version of section 94(2) of the 1993 Act.  It ensures that any long leaseholder of a flat in a Crown property can obtain a new lease under that Act where their immediate landlord is not the Crown.  Where the Crown is the immediate landlord, the long leaseholder can obtain a new lease outside the 1993 Act under the voluntary undertaking given by the Crown to that effect.
