If we take that as a given - it is not all of them but it is certainly most of them - what about when a property is put on the choice-based letting system and 100 people bid on it, but the person longest on the list is only on the list for six months? I know it would not happen like that but it could happen hypothetically if it were a less desirable property in a certain location. In that instance, it would go to the person under the choice-based letting rules. Therefore, a two-year rule, a five-year rule or a seven-year rule does not come into the equation.
