The management and control of local authority dwellings is vested in and exercised by the housing authority concerned subject to compliance with regulations and statutory provisions. Regulations made in 1980 provide that the tenancy of every letting by a housing authority shall be a weekly tenancy. The Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1992 requires that a notice to quit must not be less than four weeks. There are no proposals to amend these provisions.
