Whole provisions yet to be inserted into this Instrument (including any effects on those provisions):
24.—(1) This paragraph applies where, in respect of the accommodation occupied by the renter, one or more persons other than the renter are liable to make relevant payments which are of the same description as those for which the renter is liable and which are to be taken into account under paragraph 6.
(2) The following steps are to be taken in order to determine the renter's core rent.
Determine the total of all relevant payments referred to in sub-paragraph (1) for which the renter and others are liable in respect of the accommodation taken as a whole.
Determine the period in respect of which each relevant payment is payable and, in accordance with paragraph 7, determine the amount of the payment in respect of a month.
Add together all of the amounts determined in step 2 in relation to all relevant payments.
Find the allocated amount in accordance with whichever of sub-paragraphs (3) to (5) applies in the renter's case.
The result is the renter's core rent.
(3) Where the only persons liable to make relevant payments are listed persons, the allocated amount is the amount resulting from step 3 in sub-paragraph (2).
(4) Where the persons liable for the relevant payments are one or more listed persons and one or more other persons, the allocated amount is to be found by the applying the formula—
where—
“A” is the amount resulting from step 3 in sub-paragraph (2),
“B” is the total number of all persons (including listed persons) liable to make the relevant payments, and
“C” is the number of listed persons [F2liable to make relevant payments].
(5) If the Secretary of State is satisfied that it would be unreasonable to allocate the amount resulting from step 3 in sub-paragraph (2) in accordance with sub-paragraph (4), that amount is to be allocated in such manner as the Secretary of State considers appropriate in all the circumstances, having regard (among other things) to the number of persons liable and the proportion of the relevant payments for which each of them is liable.
