(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order requires persons who engage in lettings agency work and persons who engage in property management work to belong to a redress scheme for dealing with complaints in connection with that work. The Order also makes provision for enforcement of that requirement.
Article 3 imposes the requirement to belong to a redress scheme on persons who engage in lettings agency work.
Lettings agency work is defined in section 83(7), (8) and (9)(a) of the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013 (2013 c.24). Section 83(9)(b) provides that lettings agency work does not include things of a description or things done by a person of a description specified in an Order. Article 4 prescribes those things that are not lettings agency work for the purposes of section 83.

Property management work is defined in section 84(6) and (7)(a) of the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013. Section 84(7)(b) provides that property management work does not include things of a description or things done by a person of a description specified in an Order. Article 6 prescribes those things that are not property management work for the purposes of section 84.
