Renting a room in Stoke-on-Trent on benefits

If you receive Universal Credit with the housing element, or Housing Benefit, the Local Housing Allowance (LHA) for the Staffordshire North area 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, which is £301.33 a month here. If the rent is higher, you pay the difference yourself, so look for rooms marked “Housing benefit covers the rent”.

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 (1 in Stoke-on-Trent). Never pay a deposit or rent before you have viewed a room and signed an agreement.
