What is this form for?
We have to make all payments of Local Housing Allowance to the tenant. However we can, in certain
circumstances, make payments to the landlord.
The information you provide in this form will help us to decide whether it is appropriate to pay
directly to the landlord. You may not need to complete all the questions but try to give as much
information and evidence as possible. If you need help please get in touch with us
Where possible the tenant should complete this form but it can also be completed on their behalf. The
tenant should always sign the form and be fully aware that it may lead to their benefit being paid
directly to the landlord to cover the rent. If the tenant has not signed the form, the reasons why must
be provided in the declaration part of this form. Written evidence needs to be provided to support the

circumstances. For example:
