76Circumstances in which the duty in section 75 endsE+W
(1)The duty to an applicant under section 75(1) comes to an end in any of the circumstances described in subsections (2), (3), (6) or (7), if the applicant has been notified in accordance with section 84.
(2)The circumstances are that the applicant accepts—
(a)an offer of suitable accommodation under Part 6 of the Housing Act 1996 (allocation of housing), or
(b)an offer of suitable accommodation under an assured tenancy (including an assured shorthold tenancy).
(3)The circumstances are that the applicant, having been given notice in writing of the possible consequence of refusal or acceptance of the offer, refuses—
(a)an offer of suitable interim accommodation under section 75,
(b)a private rented sector offer, or
(c)an offer of accommodation under Part 6 of the Housing Act 1996,
which the authority is satisfied is suitable for the applicant.
