Regulation 8 Temporary reductions or waiversI1

Subject to paragraphs (2) and (3), the maximum amount of rent payable to a registered provider in respect of a relevant year by a tenant of social housing to whom section 23 of the Act does not apply because of the exception in regulation 3(1)(l) is the amount that would have been the maximum determined in accordance with section 23 of the Act, disregarding the effect of the temporary rent reduction or waiver.

This regulation does not apply if an absolute exception, or an exception in regulation 3(1)(b), 3(1)(i), or 3(3) applies.

In the case of supported housing which is not specialised supported housing, the reference in paragraph (1) to the maximum rent determined in accordance with section 23 of the Act should be read as a reference to section 23 as modified by regulation 9.
