Use this form to report a rent change if you're on Housing benefit.
This form only collects information if your rent has increased or decreased. If you have moved to a new property please complete a change of address form instead.
If you are a council tenant, you don't need to tell us your rent has changed. The Housing department will let us know.
You will need to tell us:
- your name, address and contact details
- any other names you have used in the past
- your National Insurance Number and Claim Reference Number
- when your rent changed
- how much your new rent is
You will need to show us either:
- a new tenancy agreement
- a new letter signed by your landlord or agent containing:
- name and address of landlord, agent or Housing Association
- agreement start date
- amount of rent payable
- what is included in the rent
- payment frequency, for example weekly or monthly
