Housing (Standards for Rented Houses) Regulations 2008 (pdf).
It states on citizens advice that the standards for rented accommodation must have certain things. However it states that

"A house, flat or apartment which is let for rent for the first time after 1 February 2009 must comply fully with the Regulations. However, some of the Regulations will not apply to existing tenancies until 1 February 2013. This means, if a house was let for rent between 1 September 2004 and 31 January 2009 it doesn’t have to meet all of the new minimum physical standards (see 'Existing rental properties' below)."

Does this mean that if you enter a new lease, but the property is rented before this to someone else, it does not need to meet these regulations? Or does it mean that if a lease was entered into prior to 2009 and the same person is still there (under part 4 perhaps) it does not need to be upgraded until 2013?
