Documents

A letter for notifying a homeless applicant that the main housing duty has ended because:

• the applicant has accepted a 'private rented sector offer' (i.e. an assured shorthold tenancy with a fixed term of at least six months that was approved by the council for ending the duty).

The main duty can be ended for this reason under section 193(7AA)(a) of the Housing Act 1996.

The letter will need to be amended if the applicant is a 'restricted case'.
