Section 22 amends section 11 of the Housing Act 1988 (payment of removal expenses in certain cases) so that only relevant social landlords (as defined by ground 6) are required to pay reasonable removal expenses to tenants when the court awards possession under grounds 6 (redevelopment), ground 6A (decant) or ground 9 (suitable alternative accommodation). This requirement applies where the dwelling house that the tenant is moving from is social housing.
	In addition, subsection (5) amends section 11 of the Housing Act 1988 so that a relevant social landlord will also be required to pay reasonable expenses likely to be incurred by the tenant in moving them from the alternative accommodation provided temporarily under case B of the "additional RSL condition" in ground 6.
