LHA predictions

The government predicts that three quarters of a million tenants will see a reduction in their Local Housing Allowance. They estimate that the average reduction will be £9 a week. This figure could be a lot higher for some tenants with an estimated 21,000 losing as much as £74 per week from their LHA payments.

Shelter commented that "Next year looks set to be even more difficult for private renters,"

Landlords could find their LHA tenants struggling more than usual post Christmas.
