Landlords' rights of appeal
Landlords' rights of appeal are limited to areas directly
involving them and the Council. This would be where the Council is
seeking to recover an overpayment of Housing Benefit from a
landlord or we have refused to pay you Housing Benefit payments
rather than your tenant.
To appeal a landlord is bound by the same rules as a
claimant.
The appeal:
- must be in writing
- must give reasons for the appeal
- must be made within one calendar month of the date of
notification to the landlord.
A landlord has no rights of appeal relating to a
claimants benefit award.
All correspondence should be sent to:
