Information for landlords
Sharing information
Under the Data Protection Act, we will only share information with private landlords regarding a Housing Benefit claim if we have permission from the claimant.
There is a declaration on our claim forms which must be completed by the claimant in order for us to share information with a landlord or third party.
Sharing information can help us deal with a claim quicker and reduce the chance of rent arrears. We may contact you and ask for information regarding a tenancy so that we can make a decision on a claim for benefit.
We do not share information about personal or financial circumstances with landlords.
