Houseboat moored to wooden platform did not provide the occupants the protection of an assured tenancy.
29 July 2011
On 28th July 2011 the Court of Appeal found that a Judge had been right to conclude that a houseboat resting on a wooden platform had not become "annexed to land subject to tenancies" and was therefore not captured within the Housing Act 1988. The occupants could not claim to be assured tenants.
