These Regulations amend the Schedule to the Rates (Unoccupied Hereditaments) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2011 (S.R. 2011 No. 36) to provide an exemption from unoccupied rates for a person who has made an application under Article 29 of the Housing (Northern Ireland) Order 1988 (“the 1988 Order”) in respect of a hereditament where the conditions under the scheme for acceptance of that application are satisfied.
