Daisy Said:

a question regarding hosing benefit payment?

We Answered:

If you are on Housing Benefit (the old system) then you can simply request your rent be paid to you. If you are on the LHA then it automatically comes to you.

the landlord set sthe rent for his own property and if you sign the lease then you say you agree to pay that rent.

If you cant afford it move elsewhere - say into one of these cheaper properties.


This situation is going to happen more and more as the whole reason for bringing in LHA (though they will never admit it) is to pay out less and therefore force rents down. Landlords cannot afford to reduce rents as they have to pay mortgages so it is going to get very messy in coming months. IMO
