Effect of reaching 18

233Effect of reaching 18

1

This section applies to a tenancy or licence which is not an occupation contract because paragraph 7(2) of Schedule 2 (all those with whom tenancy or licence is made are under 18) applies to it.

2

When the relevant person reaches the age of 18, the following questions are to be determined as if the tenancy or licence were made on the day the person reaches that age⁠—

a

whether the tenancy or licence is an occupation contract,

b

the identity of the contract-holders under the contract, and

c

whether it is a secure contract or a standard contract.

3

The relevant person—

a

if the tenancy or licence is made with one person, is that person, and

b

if the tenancy or licence is made with more than one person, is the first of them to reach the age of 18.
