Commentary on Sections Part 1 Regulation of Private Rented Housing Section 43 – Activity in contravention of this Part: effect on tenancy agreements
103.Any contravention of this Part of the Act does not affect the validity of a tenancy agreement or the enforceability of any obligations under such an agreement.  In such circumstances, a tenant will still be entitled to occupy the premises under a valid tenancy agreement.  This does not, however, prevent rent being stopped or repaid in accordance with rent stopping or rent repayment orders.
