Housing benefits: advice for landlords

In this section

  1. You are here: What we can tell you
  2. Payments direct to landlords

What we can tell you

If your tenant has signed a 'landlord disclosure', we will be able to tell you:

  • whether your tenant has claimed housing benefit and whether a decision has been made
  • if we need more information to decide the claim and what that information is

We will not be able to give you:

  • any personal or household details
  • your tenant's financial circumstances

If you employ an agent, we can only discuss the claim with your agent.
