Schedule 2: Temporary moratorium on enforcement of protected rent debts Using a landlord’s right to appropriate rent
Paragraph 7 applies in relation to rent being paid during the moratorium period at a time when the tenant owes the landlord an unprotected rent debt as well as a protected rent debt, and the tenant has not exercised their right to use the payment to pay any particular rent debt owed to the landlord.
	Sub-paragraph (2) states that, in this case, the landlord must appropriate the payment to meet the unprotected rent debt before it can be used to meet the protected rent debt.
	Sub-paragraph (3) provides the definition of "unprotected rent debt".
	Paragraph 8 applies in relation to rent paid during the period set out in sub-paragraph (2), at a time when the tenant owes the landlord an unprotected rent debt as well as a protected rent debt, and the tenant has not exercised their right to use the payment to pay any particular rent debt owed to the landlord.
	The time period referred to begins with the day after the last day of the protected period for the debt and ends the day before the moratorium period starts.
	Sub-paragraph (3) states that, in this case, during the moratorium period, the landlord must appropriate the payment to meet the unprotected rent debt before it can be used to meet the protected rent debt.
	If a landlord used their right to appropriate rent debt during the period set out in sub-paragraph (2), sub-paragraph (4) states that the appropriation does not have the effect of allowing protected rent to be treated as paid first, and the payment should be treated as having been used for the unprotected rent debt first.
	Sub-paragraph (5) explains that "unprotected rent debt" has the same meaning as it does in paragraph 7.
