The local housing authority may vary a final management order if they consider it appropriate to do so.
A variation does not come into force until such time, if any, as is the operative time for the purposes of this subsection under paragraph 31 of Schedule 6 (time when period for appealing expires without an appeal being made or when decision to vary is confirmed on appeal).
The power to vary an order under this section is exercisable by the authority either—
on an application made by a relevant person, or
on the authority's own initiative.
In this section "relevant person" means—
any person who has an estate or interest in the house or part of it (but is not a tenant under a lease with an unexpired term of 3 years or less), or
any other person who (but for the order) would be a person managing or having control of the house or part of it.
