639. .Paragraph 22: Power of a residential property tribunal to determine certain leases and licences
640.A RPT may, on application from a LHA, make an order determining a lease or licence in respect of a dwelling if it is satisfied that the dwelling is not being occupied and the local authority requires possession to secure occupation of it. In making an order determining a lease or licence, a RPT may require the LHA to pay compensation.
641.Paragraph 23: Termination of EDMOs: financial arrangements
642.On termination of an interim EDMO, the LHA must pay to the relevant proprietor any balance of rent left after deduction of its relevant expenditure and any compensation payable to a third party or a dispossessed landlord or tenant. However, it is not required to pay any balance to the relevant proprietor where the order is followed by a final EDMO and the final EDMO provides for this.
643.On termination of a final EDMO, the LHA must pay any balance owed to the relevant proprietor, a third party or a dispossessed landlord or tenant in accordance with the management scheme.
644.If, on termination of an EDMO, there is a deficit after deduction of relevant expenditure, the LHA may be required to meet the deficit out of its own resources (unless it subsequently recovers the deficit under a final EDMO). The LHA may only recover the deficit from the relevant proprietor if:
	the relevant proprietor has agreed to pay it;
	it relates to a service charge paid by the local authority;
	in the case of an interim EDMO, if the relevant proprietor unreasonably refused to consent to the grant of occupation rights;
645.Any sum recoverable is, until recovered, a charge on the dwelling.
646.Paragraph 24; Termination of EDMOs: leases, agreements and proceedings
647.When an EDMO ceases to have effect the LHA ceases to be a party to a lease or licence to which it became a party under the order. The relevant proprietor takes over the LHA rights and obligations. The LHA may cease to have rights and liabilities under any other agreement or legal proceeding by serving a notice on the other party.
648.Paragraph 25: EDMOs: power of entry to carry out work
649.A LHA has the right to enter a dwelling subject to an EDMO to survey its condition or to carry out works. Any occupier who prevents an officer, employee, agent or contractor of a LHA from carrying out their duties may be ordered to stop by a magistrate's court. Failure to comply with an order of the court is an offence. A LHA may apply to a court for a warrant to authorise entry to a dwelling subject to an EDMO.
650.Paragraphs 26 to 37; Appeals
651.A person who is affected by an EDMO may appeal to a RPT against:
	a decision of a LHA to make a final EDMO;
	the terms of a final EDMO (including the terms of a management scheme);
	the terms of an interim EDMO on the grounds that they do not make provision regarding the interest or on the intervals at which surplus monies received by the LHA under the order are to be paid to the relevant proprietor;
	a decision of the LHA to vary or revoke an interim or final EDMO or its refusal to vary or revoke an interim or final EDMO.
	a decision of the LHA as to whether compensation should be paid to a third party in respect of interference with his rights in consequence of a final EDMO.
