5) Provisions are made in the Rates and Land Rent (Relief) Act 1970 for ratepayers who are suffering "substantial hardship" or who are on a full fringe benefits pension to apply to have all or part of their rates deferred. The applicants can only apply for a deferment of rates charges in respect of their principal place of residence and must, in cases involving hardship, supply documentation to substantiate income, assets and liabilities.

The deferred charges and interest become an encumbrance

against the property and are either recovered at the end of

the deferred period or upon disposal of the property.
