This section 193C(4) duty ends if the applicant accepts or refuses a final accommodation offer or a final Part 6 offer. A ‘final accommodation offer’ is an offer of an assured shorthold tenancy made by a private landlord with the approval of the housing authority, with a view to bringing the section 193C(4) duty to an end. The offer must be of a fixed term tenancy (within the meaning of Part 1 of the Housing Act 1988) of at least 6 months duration, and the accommodation must be suitable for the applicant. A ‘final Part 6 offer’ is a suitable housing allocation (under Part 6 of the 1996 Act) made in writing, and which states that it is a final offer for the purposes of this section. A housing authority must not approve a final accommodation offer or make a final Part 6 offer if the applicant has a contractual obligation in respect of their existing accommodation which they are unable to bring to an end before being required to take up the offer. For further guidance on suitability see Chapter 17. However, the constantly changing timelines takes a bit of getting used to and it does lead to some repetition especially with Ciara and Oliver’s perspectives, hence my four star rating. The relief duty ends automatically after 56 days from when it was accepted if the local authority is satisfied that the applicant is in priority need and not homeless intentionally. [1] The local authority does not need to give the applicant a notice. There may be other circumstances where there is a reasonable prospect of suitable accommodation being available for at least 6 months, but this not necessarily being the same accommodation throughout. For example, an applicant with support needs may be placed in short term supported accommodation which forms part of a planned accommodation and support pathway overseen by the housing authority. This may meet the conditions for ending the duty under this subsection if there is a clear, documented expectation that the applicant will be supported to make a planned move directly to more settled supported or independent accommodation through the pathway service.

Key Changes

The Code advises authorities not to adopt a blanket policy on whether to extend the relief duty beyond 56 days. [10] Section 193B(6) provides that the housing authority must have regard to the particular circumstances and needs of the applicant, whether or not identified in the assessment under section 189A, in deciding whether refusal by the applicant is unreasonable. It's okay,' she mumbles, waving the bottle of water she's holding in her right hand. 'I've just realised I've got the wrong one.' Section 189B(7) provides the circumstances in which the housing authority can give notice under section 189B(5) to the applicant bringing the relief duty under section 189B(2) to an end. For further guidance on the relief duty see Chapter 13. Regulations relating to the procedure to be followed by housing authorities in connection with notices under section 193B (section 193B(7)) are set out in the Homelessness (Review Procedure etc.) Regulations 2018 – these relate to decisions to issue a notice.

I was hooked! Despite the different timelines from past and present and the voices from Ciara, Oliver, and the detective Leah Riordan, it all made perfect sense and my attention never wavered. The threshold for triggering the section 188(1) duty is low as the housing authority only has to have a reason to believe (rather than being satisfied) that the applicant may be homeless, eligible for assistance and have a priority need. Where the prevention duty ends under this circumstance, the applicant’s entitlement to the relief duty will not be affected as the relief duty applies irrespective of whether or not an applicant is considered to be intentionally homeless. d) the section 193C(4) duty to secure accommodation for applicants who are homeless, eligible for assistance, have priority need and are not intentionally homeless but have deliberately and unreasonably refused to cooperate;In this subsection the expression “member” in relation to an organisation includes a member of any branch or units of, or formed by, the organisation.

Where new tenancies are secured housing authorities are encouraged to adopt policies favouring longer tenancies than the legal minimum where market conditions in their area allow. It is recommended that, wherever possible, minimum tenancy lengths of 12 months are secured to provide more stability to individuals and particularly to families with children.d) the applicant refuses a final offer of accommodation under Part 6 (an allocation of social housing). The main housing duty does not end unless the applicant is informed of the possible consequences of refusal and of their right to ask for a review of the suitability of the accommodation ( section 193(7)), the offer is made in writing and states that it is a final offer (section 193(7A)), and the housing authority is satisfied that the accommodation is suitable (section 193(7F)); For any other case (including for applicants who have a priority need, and for applicants who the housing authority have reason to believe will be owed a duty because they have reapplied within 2 years of accepting a private rented sector offer (for further guidance on reapplication after a private rented sector offer see Chapter 18), the section 188(1) interim duty will end at whichever is the later of: Following inquiries, where the housing authority concludes that an applicant does not have a priority need, the section 188(1) duty ends when either:

For example, if you want to know What is 56 Days in Weeks, simply select 'Weeks' as the starting unit, enter '56' as the quantity, and select 'Days' as the target unit. The converter will then display the converted result, which in this case would be 8. Where the applicant remains at risk of homelessness and the housing authority considers there is still the chance that homelessness can be prevented, it will be in the interests of both the applicant and the housing authority for work to continue to help the applicant avoid homelessness, whereupon they may make a new application to the housing authority for help under the relief duty. The relief duty ends automatically after 56 days if the local authority is satisfied that the applicant has a priority need and is not intentionally homeless. I really enjoyed 56 Days, the second book I have read by this author, and I look forward to reading more from her.Both had just relocated to Dublin, and barely knew their new co-workers. Neither had family close by. Once again the narrator is Alana Kerr Collins and I think her light Irish accent seems perfect for Ms. Howard’s books. Ciara and Oliver meet in a supermarket queue in Dublin and start dating the same week COVID-19 reaches Irish shores.
