Sub-tenant applys housing benefit (DSS/DWP) affect IRL?
Posted: Sun Jan 02, 2011 12:57 am
Hi,
I am currently renting a house through Agency and living there. And I sub-rent rest of rooms. I pay full rent to landlord every month and the rent from myself and that collected from sub-tenants.
Recently, one of the sub-tenants (English guy) is applying house benefit (DSS) for his room and I concerned about HO will consider part of rent for this house is paid through Housing Benefit and it will affect me when I apply ILR.
If it affects me, do I have the right to stop it?
Please if anyone knows about it let me know.
Thanks.
