From a landlord, letting agent or private housing
- When looking for a property and seeking to apply for housing benefits for help with your rent, you should make sure that you familiarise yourself with your local housing benefit limits. It will save you a great deal of stress. The smart thinking is to make sure that you make all the enquiries concerning your housing benefit or universal credit entitlement before signing a tenancy agreement.
- Be aware that the size of the property you are looking for should satisfy your living needs and most importantly the housing benefit you will receive will cover the rent or allow you to partially cover the rent combined with your existing income.
