101 Interim and final management orders: introductory

(1) This Chapter deals with the making by a local housing authority of— (a) an interim management order (see section 102), or (b) a final management order (see section 113), in respect of an HMO or a Part 3 house or property let in breach of a banning order under section 16 of the Housing and Planning Act 2016. (2) Section 103 deals with the making of an interim management order in respect of a house to which that section applies. (3) An interim management order is an order (expiring not more than 12 months after it is made) which is made for the purpose of securing that the following steps are taken in relation to the house— (a) any immediate steps which the authority consider necessary to protect the health, safety or welfare of persons occupying the house, or persons occupying or having an estate or interest in any premises in the vicinity, and (b) any other steps which the authority think appropriate with a view to the proper management of the house pending ... the making of a final management order in respect of it (or, if appropriate, the revocation of the interim management order). (4) A final management order is an order (expiring not more than 5 years after it is made) which is made for the purpose of securing the proper management of the house on a long-term basis in accordance with a management scheme contained in the order. (5) In this Chapter any reference to “the house”, in relation to an interim or final management order (other than an order under section 102(7) or (7A)), is a reference to the HMO or Part 3 house to which the order relates. (6) Subsection (5) has effect subject to sections 102(8) and 113(7) (exclusion of part occupied by resident landlord). (6A) In this Chapter any reference to “the house”, in relation to an interim or final management order that relates to property let in breach of a banning order under section 16 of the Housing and Planning Act 2016, means the property let in breach of that order. (6B) In this Chapter any reference to property that is let in breach of a banning order under section 16 of the Housing and Planning Act 2016 includes property in respect of which a breach is (or would be) caused by a licence to occupy. (6C) When determining for the purposes of this Chapter whether property is let in breach of a banning order disregard any exception included in the banning order in reliance on section 17 of the Housing and Planning Act 2016. (7) In this Chapter “third party”, in relation to a house, means any person who has an estate or interest in the house (other than an immediate landlord and any person who is a tenant under a lease granted under section 107(3)(c) or 116(3)(c)).

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
