Class B: Unoccupied Dwellings Owned by Charities
A dwelling owned by a charity is exempt for up to six months from the date that it became unoccupied, if the property was being used for the purposes of the charity up to that date. The exemption applies whether or not the property contains furniture. For the purposes of Class B, a charity is described as "a body established for charitable purposes only" and, in considering whether a dwelling has been unoccupied for up to six months, any temporary occupation of less than six weeks is disregarded.
