Regulation 4

Any person who is an occupier of any domestic premises, not being premises which are used (whether wholly or partly) by the occupier for the purpose of the conduct of any business or undertaking of the occupier, is hereby exempted from the provisions of the Act.

For the avoidance of doubt, for the purpose of sub-paragraph (1), the leasing out of the whole or any part of the domestic premises by the occupier of the premises to another for residential purposes does not constitute conducting a business or undertaking.
