This template letter enables you to end the s.73 relief duty where the applicant has refused suitable accommodation.

To end the duty on this basis you must be satisfied that:

• the applicant has refused accommodation;
• the accommodation was suitable for the applicant and members of his or her household;
• the accommodation offered is likely to be available for the applicant's occupation for at least six months from when the (end of duty) notification is sent; and
• prior to refusing the offer the applicant was notified of the possible consequences of accepting or refusing the offer.

This template helps you to ensure that the notification requirements - including those set out in section 84 of the Housing (Wales) Act 2014 - are met.
