In line with the approach to bulk applications (there in respect of deputyship) set out in theFriendly Trust's Bulk Application [2016] EWCOP 40, practitioners should be aware that the 2012 guidance as to bulk tenancy applications has now been withdrawn.   Any applications for the same will now be met with the following response:
'The previous guidance, which was drawn up following an approach by the Association of Public Authority Deputies and other court users, has been withdrawn. That had indicated that the court was prepared to deal with all of the adults required to sign the tenancy agreement(s) in a single bulk application.  Attention has been drawn to the fact that the Court of Protection Rules 2007 make no provision for bulk applications to be made.  It is not possible, as the rules stand at present, to entertain an application made on that basis.' You have been warned!
