Table Meanings

Initial Standard - "Y" denotes that this standard must be met from commencement of the operational period (i.e. prior to refurbishment) to avoid the Dwelling becoming Unavailable.

Full Standard - "Y" denotes that this standard must be met in order to avoid the Dwelling becoming Unavailable.

Rectification Period - defined in consecutive days unless stated otherwise.

Temporary Rectification - where permitted, the completion of a temporary rectification within the defined Rectification Period will permit a further period within which a permanent repair can be effected.  Note that to qualify, a temporary repair must restore the Dwelling to the Availability Standard (examples include a securely fastened tarpaulin to prevent water ingress, boarding up of windows, temporary heating forms, etc.) but need not be in keeping with the building fabric/component to which it is administered.

Unavailable but Used applicable - "No" indicates that in the event of Unavailability, the full Availability deduction will be made regardless of whether or not the tenant(s) remain in occupation.  The Contractor should note that where any Availability Standard is failed to the extent that it causes the Dwelling to fail the Availability Standards within the section entitled "General" then Unavailable but Used will not be applicable.
