There are special Housing Benefit rules if you rent from a Private Landlord.
If you pay your rent to the person who owns your home, a property company, an estate agent or letting agency, there are special rules about how much Housing Benefit we can pay you. If you pay a very high rent to a Housing Association, the special rules may apply to you.
In most cases, Housing Benefit will not cover the whole of your rent. The rules are complicated. This information cannot tell you all the details, it is meant to give you a general idea of what usually happens.
