Section 32 inserts section 199A of the Housing Act 1996, into the list of specified sections already set out in section 209, subsection (1) of that same Act. This will ensure that, as is the case for the sections already stated in section 209, subsection (1), a tenancy granted pursuant to section 199A cannot be an assured tenancy, other than in the circumstances allowed for in section 209, subsection (2).
	Section 32 also amends Schedule 1 to the Housing Act 1988, paragraph 8, so that the government can make regulations ensuring that student lettings where the landlord or person managing the building or tenancy is subject to codes of practice approved under section 233 of the Housing Act 2004 will not be assured tenancies. This will bring them in line with university managed accommodation, with key tenant protections relating to those tenancies arising from the Codes themselves and the Protection from Eviction Act 1977 (preventing eviction without a prior court order).
