Article 7

SCHEDULE 4 RENT OFFICERS DETERMINATIONS

Calculation of deductions

1.  The deductions–

(a) in a case to which paragraph (2), (4), (5) or (6) of article 7 applies, shall be calculated in accordance with paragraph 2 or 3 as appropriate;

(b) in a case to which paragraph (3) of that article applies, shall be calculated in accordance with paragraph 6.

Reasonable market rent

2.  Where the rent officer determines a reasonable market rent and the amount of eligible rent exceeds the reasonable market rent less ineligible amounts, the amount to be deducted from allowances granted in respect of the period beginning with the relevant date and ending with the termination date shall be–

(a) an amount equal to 100% of the excess or the amount of the allowances granted, whichever is the lower, or

(b) where paragraph 5 applies, the difference between–

(i) the amount determined in accordance with sub-paragraph (a) of this paragraph; and

(ii) the amount obtained by dividing that amount by 97 and multiplying the quotient by 50.

Determination as to size

3.  Subject to paragraph 4, where the rent officer makes a determination under paragraph 2 of Schedule 1 of the Rent Officers Order that the dwelling exceeds the size criteria for its occupiers and he determines a reasonable market rent and a comparable rent for suitably sized accommodation, the amount to be deducted from allowances granted in respect of the period beginning on the relevant date and ending on the termination date shall be–

(a) for the period of 13 weeks beginning on the relevant date or, if shorter, for the period beginning on that date and ending on the termination date, if the amount of the eligible rent exceeds the reasonable market rent less ineligible amounts–

(i) an amount equal to 100% of the excess or the amount of the allowances granted in respect of that period, whichever is the lower or

(ii) where paragraph 5 applies, the difference between the amount determined in accordance with head of this sub-paragraph and the amount obtained by dividing that amount by 97 and multiplying the quotient by 50;

(b) for the period after the end of that period, if the amount of the eligible rent exceeds the comparable rent for suitably sized accommodation less ineligible amounts,

(i) an amount equal to 100% of the excess or the amount of the allowances granted in respect of that period, whichever is the lower or

(ii) where paragraph 5 applies, the difference between the amount determined in accordance with head of this sub-paragraph and the amount obtained by dividing that amount by 97 and multiplying the quotient by 50.

Modification where determination is made as to size

4.—(1) Where the rent officer has made a determination under paragraph 2 of Schedule 1 to the Rent Officers Order before paragraph (1) of article 2 of the Amendment Order came into force and it is probable that had that amendment been in force at the time of the determination–

(a) the rent officer would not have made the determination that the dwelling exceeded the size criteria, the amount to be deducted from allowances provided in respect of the period beginning on the relevant date shall be, if the amount of the eligible rent exceeds the reasonable market rent less ineligible amounts,

(i) the amount equal to 100% of the excess or the amount of the allowances granted, whichever is the lower or

(ii) where paragraph 5 applies, the difference between the amount determined in accordance with head of this sub-paragraph and the amount obtained by dividing that amount by 97 and by multiplying the quotient by 50; or

(b) the rent officer would have determined a higher comparable rent for suitably sized accommodation, the comparable rent shall be increased by an amount determined in accordance with the formula–

unless it is impracticable for an authority to calculate its subsidy otherwise than by reference to the determination actually made by the rent officer.

(2) In sub-paragraph (1)(b) of this paragraph–

“A” means the number equal to the number of rooms in excess of the size criteria which the rent officer has determined as suitable;

“B” means the number equal to the number of rooms in excess of the size criteria which it is probable the rent officer would have determined as suitable had the amendment been in force;

(f) in a case where–

(i) the dwelling is in a hostel; and

(ii) by virtue of regulation 12A(2) of the Regulations an application for a determination in respect of that dwelling is not required; and

(iii) there is current, on 9th October 1989, a benefit period relating to a claim for an allowance in relation to the dwelling,

(g) in a case where–

(i) immediately before 10th April 1989 one of the occupiers of the dwelling was in receipt of income support under the Act and his applicable amount fell to be calculated in accordance with regulation 20 or regulation 71(1)(b) of, or paragraph 17 of Schedule 7 to, the Income Support (General) Regulations 1987; and

(ii) there is, on 10th April 1989, a benefit period relating to a claim for an allowance in relation to the dwelling,

the relevant date is the date (after 16th April 1989) on which any change of circumstances takes effect or the date on which the benefit period subsequent to the benefit period on 10th April 1989, begins, whichever is the earlier;

(i) the dwelling is an assured tenancy by virtue of the Housing Act 1988(2) granted after 15th January 1989 but before 1st April 1989; and

whichever is earlier.

Apportionment

9.  For the purposes of this Schedule where more than one person is liable to make payments in respect of a dwelling the “comparable rent for suitably sized accommodation” or “reasonable market rent” shall be apportioned on the same basis as such payments are apportioned under regulation 10(5) of the Regulations.

Interpretation

10.  In this Schedule, unless the context otherwise requires–

“comparable rent for suitably sized accommodation” means the rent determined by a rent officer under paragraph 2(2) of Schedule 1 to the Rent Officers Order;

“ineligible amounts” means–

(a)

any amount which the rent officer determines under paragraph 3 of Schedule 1 to the Rent Officers Order is attributable to the provision of services ineligible to be met by housing benefit, except to the extent that it relates to fuel charges, plus the amount in respect of such charges ineligible to be met under Part II of Schedule 1 to the Regulations;

(b)

for a period beginning on or after 5th September 1989, in England and Wales, and 6th September 1989, in Scotland, any amount in respect of amounts ineligible to be met by housing benefit under paragraph 1A of Schedule 1 to the Regulations;

(c)

where the dwelling is a hostel within the meaning of regulation 12A of the Regulations (requirement to refer to rent officers), for the period beginning on or after 9th October 1989, any amount ineligible to be met by housing benefit under paragraph 1 of Schedule 1 to the Regulations, other than under sub-paragraphs (d) to (f) of that paragraph,

“reasonable market rent” means the rent determined by a rent officer under paragraph 1 of Schedule 1 to the Rent Officers Order;

and other expressions have the same meanings as in the Rent Officers Order.
