Housing administration

I196Objectives of housing administration

1

A housing administrator has two objectives—

a

Objective 1: normal administration (see section 97), and

b

Objective 2: keeping social housing in the regulated sector (see section 98).

2

Objective 1 takes priority over Objective 2 (but the housing administrator must, so far as possible, work towards both objectives).

3

It follows that, in pursuing Objective 2, the housing administrator must not do anything that would result in a worse distribution to creditors than would be the case if the administrator did not need to pursue Objective 2.

A reference in this Chapter to the objectives of a housing administration is to the objectives to be pursued by the housing administrator.
