Contact Details: Housing Benefits

Housing Benefit is paid by the council to help people who live in rented accommodation meet the costs of their rent. Housing Benefit is payable to anyone who rents a property from a private landlord or from the council or a registered landlord. Housing Benefit is means-tested so any income or savings you have may affect the amount that is paid.
