Common use of Changing Rooms Clause in Contracts

Changing Rooms. 3.6.1 The Provider is not permitted to change the rooms unless it is done with the explicit consent of the Council. The Council must be notified before the Provider considers changing the room that a household is occupying. The Provider must provide details of the date they are proposing the household will move and the new room number. This is essential so the Council can safeguard the household, and so Housing Benefit (or equivalent) can be notified of any change of address to prevent the claim terminating. The Council cannot agree an increased nightly rate for the new room because it is bound by the charges set out in the Provider’s Pricing Schedule in the Framework Agreement. 3.6.2 If the Council serves notice on a booking, you must guarantee that the room remains available for the client until the check-out date/time agreed and will not be asked to vacate any earlier to accommodate other parties. This includes ensuring that the room will not be cancelled or amended to allow a private booking to take precedence.
