Hello all,
I recently moved in to Private Rented accommodation found by my local Council under a six months tenancy agreement.
My tenancy is due to be renewed in May and I've just been informed by the Council that my landlord wishes to up the rent by nearly £300 a month.
I replied advising the Council that this is quite an unaffordable increase, however, they have come back to myself saying this is not unreasonable due to myself and my partner having disposable income.
What she is referring to there is mine and my partners Pip. Can they ask you that you put your PIP towards your rent, despite it being meant for disability related costs?
Kind regards,
Lydia
