Section 233 allows the appropriate national authority to approve, or approve a modification to, codes of practice in relation to the management of HMOs or properties described in the Schedule 14 (buildings which are not HMOs other than for the purpose of Part 1). Non-compliance with a code is not in itself an offence. However, failure to comply with an approved code may be used in evidence in any proceedings before a court or a tribunal.
