Good morning Mr Shekhavat

 

Could you clarify something for me please.

Under the current regulations the definition of ‘temporary accommodation’
relates to the duty owed to the applicant, and not to a type(s) of
accommodation we use.

 

From the rest of your request however, I think it’s details of private
landlord rented accommodation we use? (This includes B&B and other self-
contained properties we may use.)

 

Could you confirm the type of properties you want details on.

 

Regards

Pat Badcock
