Research published yesterday by the National Landlords Association (NLA) confirms what many landlords letting to tenants have know for some time. That is that many tenants have failed to pass on the allowance to their landlords, who are now suffering average local authority arrears of £4,400. The study, based on nearly 1,000 landlords and 13,000 tenants receiving LHA, found that these landlords are experiencing rent arrears of £4.4m.

Steve Hilton, a spokesman for the NLA, says: "If this is extrapolated out to cover the 675,000 tenancies operating under LHA, the total rent arrears for all LHA landlords could be in excess of £220m."
