  "text": "(1) A claimant is to be treated as liable to make payments where all of the conditions specified in sub-paragraph (2) are met.\n(2) These are the conditions—\n(a) the person who is liable to make the payments is not doing so;\n(b) the claimant has to make the payments in order to continue occupation of the accommodation;\n(c) the claimant's circumstances are such that it would be unreasonable to expect them to make other arrangements;\n(d) it is otherwise reasonable in all the circumstances to treat the claimant as liable to make the payments.\n(3) In determining what is reasonable for the purposes of sub-paragraph (2)(d) in the case of owner-occupier payments, regard may be had to the fact that continuing to make the payments may benefit the person with the liability to make the payments.",
