Offer of waiting list accommodation to end the section 73 homeless relief duty and section 68 interim accommodation duty

This template enables you to offer accommodation from the housing register (social housing waiting list) when:

  • you want to end the section 73 homelessness duty (the duty to help the applicant to secure accommodation), and
  • the applicant is being provided temporary accommodation (under section 68).

This letter:

  • assumes the property is ready to let;
  • has spaces for including details about the property and the tenancy, e.g. the rent, the identity of landlord, tenancy start date;
  • gives the applicant a deadline by which they must contact you;
  • explains the likely consequences - for the homelessness duty - if the applicant accepts or refuses the offer of tenancy;
  • sets out the matters the council has taken into account when deciding the accommodation is suitable for the applicant;
  • informs the applicant of their statutory right to request a review.
