Who will not be affected by Local Housing Allowance?

 
You will not be affected by Local Housing Allowance if:
  • you are a private tenant who is already getting Housing Benefit, (unless you move or have a break in your claim, on or after 7 April 2008)
  • you are a council tenant
  • you are a tenant of a housing association
  • you are living in bed and breakfast accommodation
  • you live in a caravan, mobile home or house boat
  • you have a private tenancy which started before 15 January 1989
  • you live somewhere where you are provided with care, support or supervision
Local Housing Allowance may not apply if your rent includes an amount for meals. The Rent Officer will decide if this applies to your rent.
