Pre-tenancy determinations
You can find out whether your Housing Benefit is likely to be restricted if you claim Housing Benefit, by asking the Authority for a 'pre-tenancy determination'. Any prospective occupier of any dwelling (other than a council letting) may apply for a 'pre-tenancy determination' by contacting the council for a form.
You can do this by filling in a Pre-Tenancy Determination form which you can get from one of our local offices or from The Rent Service website (www.therentservice.gov.uk/advice-guidance/housing-benefit.asp) (leaflets and form are available on The Rent Service website).
For more information see our Housing benefit webpage.
