Renting in Leicester on benefits

If you receive Universal Credit with the housing element, or Housing Benefit, the Local Housing Allowance (LHA) for Leicester sets the most it will usually pay towards private rent. Most single people under 35 get the rate for a room in a shared house. When you find somewhere, you'll need to show the landlord proof of your benefits before a tenancy or licence starts.

Landlords with a “Verified landlord” badge have had their identity or organisation checked by SocialRooms. Never pay a deposit or rent before you have viewed a home and signed an agreement.
