Paragraph 6 amends paragraph 10A to Schedule 2 of the Housing Act 1996. This allows for joint investigations between a social housing Ombudsman operating under the provisions in the Housing Act 1996 and any private rented sector landlord redress scheme, where the social housing Ombudsman believes that a case would be within the remit of both ombudsmen/ redress schemes.
	Under paragraph 10A, two or more ombudsmen who are listed under these provisions can conduct a joint investigation, where the subject matter of a case comes within the remit of all of them, with the consent of the complainant.
	Sub paragraph (3) inserts sub paragraph (1A), which sets out the meaning of "within the jurisdiction" as used in sub paragraph (1) in relation to a person who investigates complaints under a landlord redress scheme.
