Section 133 – Exclusion of contract-holder from dwelling for specified periods

330.A fixed term standard contract may specify periods when the contract-holder cannot occupy the dwelling as a home.

For example, in relation to contract-holders who are students, as student accommodation is often used for alternative purposes during vacation periods.
