LHA - How to get tenants

Twig

Hi, I've never rented to LHA tenants before, so where do I begin? The LHA rent is higher than privately renting in my area, so how do I do it? Is there a register or anything like that I need to be on, do I contact the council, or do I just place an advert for a tenant on gumtree, and then the rent...

5 in two bedrooms isn't necessarily statutorily overcrowded, as the living, and if present, dining room are also allowed.

it isn't necessarily two bedrooms short on the statistical measure and that is the typical rehousing priority figure.

In my experience social services are so snowed under they wouldn't raise an eyebrow at 5 in a 2 bed, but the family could have made a homeless application to the LA as the property is unsuitable due to overcrowding. Not that it would make much difference. Join the queue....

It's not my property, so no I didn't let a family of 5 rent a 2 bed property.

As a Housing Benefit Assessor, I don't really have any say in where someone lives.

Interesting thread, but take this scenario (it is real btw).

A family of 5 with 1 working adult who earns over £40k per year. Renting a 2 bed property and the rent is not that high for the area. They still receive Housing Benefit, which currently covers 20% of their rental liability....
