This exemption applies where the owner or tenant of the dwelling has their sole or main residence in another place (not being a hospital, care home, independent hospital or hostel) to receive personal care.

The person must be receiving care due to old age, disablement, illness, past or present alcohol or drug dependence, or past or present mental disorder. The unoccupied dwelling must previously have been the sole or main residence of the absent person, who must have been a relevant absentee for the whole of the period since last living in the property.
