A new premises starts as **pending**. It becomes **open** when its first young person moves in.

- A premises is billed once it is open.
- A premises that is pending, or closed, is not billed.
- Until a premises has opened, the service pays for the minimum of 3 places.

A premises that is temporarily closed but still registered is still billed.
