Local Housing Allowance Information
Local Housing Allowance is the scheme used to set the rent for private tenants who apply for Housing Benefit. It is based on the market rent levels for the area in which you live and the number of people who live with you on a full-time basis. The Valuation Office Agency Rent Officers determine the rates used to calculate Housing Benefit.
