If you hold a tenancy with less than 5 years to run, you are not eligible to make an owner’s application but you should consider making a tenant’s application instead.

18.  You can make a tenant’s application if you are the tenant of the premises and the tenancy has less than 5 years still to run. Section 19(5) gives an extended meaning to the word “tenant” — for further information see Note 37.

19.  You can make an occupier’s application for works to a qualifying houseboat or a qualifying park home if you occupy it, whether as a sole occupier or as a joint occupier with others. See also Notes 5A and 5B..
