Section 69 - Low cost rental
130.This section defines low cost rental accommodation. Low cost rental accommodation is one of the two types of social housing referred to in section 69. This section now defines this by reference to a rent below the market rate (paragraph (b)) and rules designed to ensure that the accommodation is made available to people whose needs may not be adequately served by the commercial market. This might, for example, be for reasons of affordability, specialised/adapted housing, security of tenure or vulnerability (paragraph (c)).
