The regulator may remove from the register a private registered provider which the regulator thinks—
is no longer eligible for registration,
has failed to meet a standard under section 193, 194 or 194C,
has ceased to carry out activities, or
has ceased to exist.
Before acting under subsection (1)(a), (aa) or (b) the regulator must—
give the private registered provider a notice—
warning the provider that the regulator is considering action under the provision concerned, and
specifying a period (which must be at least 14 days beginning with the day the provider receives the notice) within which the provider may make representations, and
consider any representations made during that period.
The regulator must notify a private registered provider of a decision to remove it from the register under subsection (1)(a), (aa) or (b).
The regulator shall remove a local authority from the register if the regulator becomes aware that the authority—
is no longer a provider of social housing, or
no longer intends to become a provider of social housing (in the case of an authority which intended to become one but did not in fact do so).
