LHA new tenancy same property
Fri 06-Feb-09 02:44 PM

Tenant has just signed a new tenancy agreement. In property since 2005. Does this mean rent will be capped under LHA rules?

Did the tenant already have a HB claim for the property in question? If so then signing a new tenancy agreement will not take them onto the LHA scheme. They have to move or have a break in HB entitlement for that to happen.
