Right to Enfranchise (RTE) Provisions - consultation: Summary of responses

The Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002 also introduced various amendments to the right to collective enfranchisement. The idea behind the reforms was that the right would have to be exercised through a Right to Enfranchise company (RTE Company) that all qualifying tenants would have the right to join. The relevant provisions of the 2002 Act have not yet been brought into force; in May 2009 the Government accepted that there were serious flaws in the legislation and consulted on the way forward (Right to Enfranchise (RTE) Provisions: a consultation, CLG, May 2009). Following the conclusion of the consultation period, the Government has announced that it does not now plan to bring the reforms into force (Right to Enfranchise (RTE) Provisions - consultation: Summary of responses, CLG, March 2010).
