Eligible rent is defined as only the amount that the tenant pays to occupy their property. It does not include the costs associated with heating, food, lighting and service costs.
The eligible rent is the amount that appears in the calculation of Housing Benefits and is called the Maximum Housing Benefit. This is worked out in differing ways depending on the type of tenancy.
