Permission to share data
The Data Protection Act stops us from giving any tenant Housing Benefit information to a landlord.
If you are a landlord who receives payments directly from us, we can tell you about:
- the tenants that benefit payments relate to
- the periods of time the payments relate to
- the weekly amount of benefit awarded
We will also let you know:
- if payments stop
- if a tenant requests future payments to be made to them
- if a deduction is being made for a previous overpayment
