RE: L.H.A. CLAIM WHERE RELATIVE OWNS PROPERTY
Sun 08-Feb-09 10:32 AM |
There are a number of Commissioners decisions that very basically say that HB can be claimed where the applicantis renting from a relative providing that the arrangement is a commercial one - with either a tenancy agreement (preferably) or at least proof that rent has been paid on a regular basis - ie, a rent book, and the rent being charged is seen to be the same as would be charged to any other tenant: ie, not a peppercorn amount. I seem to recall that one CD said that one of the tests that could or should be applied was would the Parents terminate the tenancy?
