the dwelling-house is an almshouse, and

(b)

the licence was granted by or on behalf of a charity which—

(i)

is authorised under its trusts to maintain the dwelling-house as an almshouse, and

(ii)

has no power under its trusts to grant a tenancy of the dwelling-house;

and in this paragraph “ almshouse ” means any premises maintained as an almshouse, whether they are called an almshouse or not; and “ trusts ”, in relation to a charity, means the provisions establishing it as a charity and regulating its purposes and administration, whether those provisions take effect by way of trust or not.
