abroad at a post at which a furnished residence is not provided,
will receive a rent allowance sufficient, in the opinion of the
Secretary of State, to enable him to defray the cost of renting
suitable furnished accommodation, excluding services and other
tenant’s charges. Alternatively, subject to the approval of
the Secretary of State, an officer may be provided with a rent
allowance sufficient to enable him to defray the cost of renting
suitable unfurnished accommodation, excluding services and
other tenant’s charges, where, under the provisions and within the
limits of paragraph 18 (a) of Regulation No. 7, he is entitled to
claim the cost of transporting his own furniture to his post.

The Ministry of Works Regulations regarding
Government property will apply in all cases where
Government furniture is provided. No charge will be
made for the use of Government furniture.
2. The rent allowance becomes payable from the date when
an officer arrives at his post unless he is granted a subsistence
allowance, in which case it becomes payable when this allowance
terminates. Subject to paragraph 4 below, rent allowance ceases
to be payable on the day on which the officer leaves his post on
termination of his appointment.
8 . An officer who is unable to find suitable accommodation
immediately on arrival at his new post may be allowed to claim,
in lieu of foreign and rent allowances, subsistence allowance for
himself and for each member of his family (including servants)
for whom fares are payable from public funds, for a period not
normally exceeding 28 days and at the rates specified in para
graph 10 of Regulation No. 7.
4. Where an officer who has been granted a rent allowance is
transferred to another post otherwise than at his own request and
can show that he has been unable to dispose of the lease of his
residence, he will be allowed to claim, as compensation for the
rent for which he is liable, a sum which shall not exceed the rent
allowance previously granted to him, for a period which will be
determined by the Secretary of State but which will not exceed
three months except in special cases.
