The court, in determining whether it is reasonable to make such an order or decision, or to make any other decision available to it, must (amongst other things) have regard to the circumstances set out in paragraphs 4 to 13 to the extent that the court considers them relevant (and to the extent that it is not otherwise required to have regard to those matters; for example, under the Human Rights Act 1998 (c. 42)).

Paragraph 14 sets out a circumstance, concerning local authority assistance with homelessness, which the court should not have regard to (subject to any duty to have regard to that circumstance to which the court is subject).

The probable effect of the order or decision on the contract-holder (and on any permitted occupiers of the dwelling).

If the case is one in which the court may decide to postpone the giving up of possession, the likelihood that the contract-holder will comply with any terms that may be imposed.

The probable effect of not making the order, or of the decision, on the landlord's interests, including the landlord's financial interests.

If the landlord is a community landlord, the probable effect of not making the order, or of the decision, on the landlord's ability to fulfil its housing functions, including assisting other persons in need of accommodation.

Whether the landlord has offered or undertakes to offer a new occupation contract (whether for the same dwelling or other dwellings) to one or more of the persons occupying or living in the dwelling.

If the landlord makes a possession claim relying on a breach of section 55 (anti-social behaviour and other prohibited conduct), the general public interest in restraining the conduct prohibited by that section.

The likelihood that a person will be assisted under Part 2 of the Housing (Wales) Act 2014 (anaw 7) or Part 7 of the Housing Act 1996 (c. 52) (homelessness) is not a relevant circumstance (subject to any requirement to have regard to that circumstance to which the court is subject).
