Section 60 amends the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 to bring certain private rented sector tenancies in England within the scope of sections 10A and 10B, principally tenancies for a term of less than seven years (including periodic tenancies). The amendments will have the effect of implying a new term into any tenancy relating to the remedying of hazards and extends the Secretary of State’s duty in section 10A to prescribe the detail of those requirements for remedying hazards to any tenancy that is covered by amended section 10A(1).
