Lesley Griffiths Minister for Communities and Tackling Poverty, one of the Welsh Ministers 21 September 2015 EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Regulations) These Regulations bring into force, on 1 October 2015, sections 35 and 36 of the Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Act 2015 (“the Act”). Those sections in Part 2 (Regulatory reform) of the Act amend Part 2 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954. In being commenced, the provisions exclude home businesses from the security of tenure given to tenants of premises which are occupied for business purposes. This will make it easier for tenants to be allowed business use of premises in a tenancy agreement, and for landlords to recover possession of the premises at the end of such a tenancy.
