My tenant has fallen into serious rent arrears.
Tnhe tenant receives Housing Benefit that is paid direct to me as she went over 2 months into arrears.
However, there are still arrears of rent due (she witheld payment of 2 months housing benefit for no good reason) and the arrears continue to accumulate as there is a difference between the agreed rent and the amount the council pay to me by way of Housing Benefit.
The Tenant is in receipt of various forms of social security/DSS/Sickness allowance/attendance allowance (I really do not know which - but I know that she lives off the state).
Is there a way of claiming back the arrears via a Third Party Deduction from social services payments made to her?
If so, how?
