Commentary on Sections Part 4 - Additional Control Provisions in Relation to Residential Accommodation Chapter 2: Interim and Final Empty Dwelling Management Orders Section 138: Compensation payable to third parties
296.This sets out the rights of third parties to apply to a RPT for an order requiring the LHA to pay compensation for interference with their rights in respect of the dwelling on which an interim EDMO is made. In addition, third parties may also request a LHA pays compensation for interference with their rights in respect of the dwelling on which a final EDMO is made. For example, compensation might be paid to a mortgage lender whose right to restrict letting of a dwelling subject to a mortgage is overridden.
