Who is to say whether a tenant is unable to manage their own affairs and unlikely to pay their rent?
We will decide whether a tenant is unable to manage their own affairs or is unlikely to pay their rent. We will make this decision after considering the Department for Work and Pensions’ Local Housing Allowance safeguard guidance and any evidence we gather as a result of representations from the tenant or a third party. We will take account of all the information and evidence available to us at the time, including any information from the landlord and any known past history of non payment of rent, when reaching our decision.
