Had a quick look and can't acually see where I wrote that. However, if I did, then it's my poor wording.
Answer is - no, it also applies to companies and any institution letting out property on an Assured Tenancy.
If you let me know here I wrote that, I'll amend.
It's in the quote you supplied, s.213 of the act. (edited as I missed it when I checked)0 -

It's in the Act. Non mea culpa.
Strangely the 1st 2 clauses of the Act refer to 'a person', and then all subsequent clauses refer to 'a landlord'. Since it places the obligations on 'the landlord', ThePants' concern is unfounded. But I don't understand why the act uses 'the person' in those clauses.
