Section 73: Determinations in the first year that section 69 comes into force

Housing and Planning Act 2016 · 2016 c. 22View on legislation.gov.uk

Part 4: Social housing in England — CHAPTER 2: Vacant higher value local authority housing

If section 69 comes into force part way through a financial year, then, in relation to that financial year—

a determination under section 69 may be made at any time (despite section 72(1)), but
any reference in section 69 to housing becoming vacant during a financial year is to be read as limited to housing becoming vacant after the determination is made (or, in a case where it is varied in accordance with section 72(2), housing becoming vacant after the original determination in relation to that financial year is made).
