Commentary on Sections Part 4 - Additional Control Provisions in Relation to Residential Accommodation Chapter 1: Interim and Final Management Orders Section 116: General effect of final management orders
261.The general effect of an FMO is largely the same as for an IMO. The principal difference being that a LHA does not require the consent of the landlord to grant occupation rights. Any occupation rights granted cannot be fore a fixed term expiring after the order is due to expire, or terminable by notice of more than 4 weeks, without the consent of the landlord. But consent to create a tenancy equivalent to an assured shorthold tenancy is not needed, provided it is created more than 6 months before the expiry of the order.
