RENT OFFICERS’ DETERMINATIONS

Calculation of the appropriate amount
2
The appropriate amount, in a case to which this Part applies, in respect of that part of the qualifying expenditure which is attributable to allowances granted for the period beginning on the relevant date and ending on the termination date, shall be calculated in accordance with paragraph 6, 7, 8 or 9 as appropriate.

Rent officers’ determinations
3
Except in a case to which Part III applies, this Part applies where an authority applies to a rent officer for a determination to be made under the Rent Officers Order or the Rent Officers Order 1995 in relation to a dwelling and the officer makes such a determination.
4
This Part also applies in a case where the dwelling A is in a hostel and, by virtue of regulation 14(4) of the Housing Benefit Regulations or, as the case may be, regulation 14(4) of the Housing Benefit (State Pension Credit) Regulations (exemptions from requirement to refer to rent officers), an application for a determination in respect of that dwelling A is not required, because the dwelling is regarded as similar to dwelling B in that hostel in respect of which a determination has been made, and in such a case the determination made in respect of dwelling B shall, for the purposes of this Part, be treated as if it were a determination in respect of dwelling A.
5
This Part also applies in a case where a rent officer has made a determination in respect of a tenancy of a dwelling and by virtue of paragraph 2 of Schedule 2 to the Housing Benefit Regulations or, as the case may be, paragraph 2 of Schedule 2 to the Housing Benefit (State Pension Credit) Regulations (cases with existing determinations) a new determination is not required in respect of another tenancy of the dwelling and in such a case the determination made shall, for the purposes of this Part, be treated as if it were a determination made in respect of that tenancy.
6
Except where paragraph 5 applies, this Part also applies in a case where an authority is required under
regulation 14 of the Housing Benefit Regulations or, as the case may be, regulation 14 of the Housing Benefit (State Pension Credit) Regulations
(requirement to refer to rent officer) to apply for a determination in relation to a dwelling, but the appropriate amount shall be nil if the authority fails to apply for that determination—

during the relevant year; or
b
as soon as possible thereafter but before the date of the due date for the submission of the final subsidy claim for the relevant year.

Rent officers' property-specific rent and claim-related rent

... the claim-related rent
..., less ineligible amounts,
the appropriate amount in respect of the period beginning with the relevant date and ending with the termination date shall be

..., less ineligible amounts,
then, for the period beginning with the relevant date and ending with the termination date, the appropriate amount shall be determined in accordance with sub-paragraph (2) or (3), as the case may be.

a
except where paragraph 10 applies, nil per cent. of the qualifying expenditure which is equal to the excess;

9
1

2
Where the eligible rent does not exceed the designated rent, less ineligible amounts, the appropriate amount shall be 100 per cent. of that part of the qualifying expenditure attributable to the eligible rent.
3
For the period of 13 weeks beginning on the relevant date or, if shorter, for the period beginning on that date and ending on the termination date, if the amount of the eligible rent does not exceed the property-specific rent less ineligible amounts, the appropriate amount shall be 100 per cent. of that part of the qualifying expenditure attributable to the eligible rent.
4
For the period of 13 weeks beginning on the relevant date or, if shorter, for the period beginning on that date and ending on the termination date, if the amount of the eligible rent exceeds the property-specific rent less ineligible amounts—

Article 20A

Interpretation
1
In this Schedule—
- “
HRA
” means the Housing Revenue Account of the authority the amount of whose subsidy is under consideration;
- “
rent
”, in relation to a dwelling, means the total of the payments in respect of the dwelling specified in regulation 12(1) of the Housing Benefit Regulations or, as the case may be, regulation 12(1) of the Housing Benefit (State Pension Credit) Regulations, other than a payment specified in regulation 12(1)(e).

Liability to deduction
2
1
This paragraph applies in relation to the relevant year if—
a
the authority is specified in the Table in paragraph 4 for that year, and
b
O + P is less than Q where—
- “
O
” is the amount specified in column 1 of that Table for the authority;
- “
P
” is the guideline rent increase specified in column 2 of that Table for the authority;
- “
Q
” is the average weekly rent for a dwelling for the authority for the relevant year.
2
For the purposes of determining Q in sub-paragraph (1)(b), the average weekly rent for a dwelling for the authority for the relevant year is calculated by dividing the total rent charged for all dwellings in the HRA in that year by the total number of weeks for which rent was charged for all dwellings in the HRA, disregarding any unoccupied dwelling.

Amount of deduction
3
1
The amount of the deduction from subsidy referred to in article 20A(2) is to be calculated as follows—
- Step 1Divide the amount of rebates granted by the authority in the relevant year in respect of dwellings in the HRA by the income of the authority for that year from rent (including rent remitted by way of rebate) in respect of such dwellings.
- Step 2
If the result of Step 1—
  1. does not exceed the rebate proportion for the relevant year (see sub-paragraph (2))—
    1. deduct (O + P) from Q (see paragraph 2);
    2. divide the result of paragraph (a)(i) by Q;
    3. multiply the amount of the subsidy (apart from any deduction to be calculated under this Schedule) by the result of paragraph (a)(ii));
  2. exceeds the rebate proportion for the relevant year—
    1. deduct (O + P) from Q (see paragraph 2);
    2. divide the result of paragraph (b)(i) by Q;
    3. divide the rebate proportion (see sub-paragraph (2)) by the result of Step 1;
    4. multiply the result of paragraph (b)(ii) by the result of paragraph (b)(iii);
    5. multiply the amount of the subsidy (apart from any deduction to be calculated under this Schedule) by the result of paragraph (b)(iv).
2
The rebate proportion for the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) for the relevant year beginning with
1st April 2025 is 0.369
.

Amounts for the purposes of paragraph 2
4
The amounts for the relevant year beginning on 1st April 2025 for the purposes of paragraph 2 are as follows—
Local authority | (1) Specified amount “ O ” (£) | (2) Guideline rent increase “ P ” (£)
