Renting from a private landlord

Housing Benefit for private tenants is based on the Local Housing Allowance rates. These rates are set by The Rent Service and are changed every month. Please remember this is the maximum Housing Benefit you will be entitled to. Your income, capital, savings and personal circumstances will still be taken into account.
