NLA gets Tory promise for direct payment of LHA to landlords
Of course that is a fairly big if, although some people consider it is a ‘done thing’. The NLA are now calling on the government to bring forward their planned review of the Local Housing Allowance (LHA).
The fact that LHA cannot normally be paid direct to private landlords (although it is paid direct to social landlords and mortgagees) has long been a bone of contention, and, the NLA claim, is a major factor in landlords deciding not to let to tenants on benefit.
NB Until the rules are changed, landlords could always consider suggesting to tenants that they use a Credit Union account for their benefit.
