In exceptional cases, and when duly justified, Member States may apply other objective methods, such as the user-cost method.
No justification shall be required for use of the user-cost method in compiling the output of owner-occupied dwellings, provided that the following conditions are met:
(a)
privately rented dwellings must represent less than 10 % of the dwelling stock; and
(b)
if (a) is fulfilled and the share of the total rented dwellings – market and non-market – in the total dwelling stock exceeds 10 %, the disparity between market and other paid rentals must exceed a factor of three.
