Paragraph Cases where this form should not be used

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

• An application cannot be made if—

(a)

the rent payable under the tenancy is a rent previously determined by a rent assessment committee; or

(b)

the tenancy is a replacement tenancy and more than six months have elapsed since the beginning of the original tenancy. A replacement tenancy is an assured shorthold tenancy that came into being on the ending of a tenancy which had been an assured shorthold of the same, or substantially the same, property and the landlord and tenant under each tenancy were the same at that time.
