More than a third of private landlords with tenants
receiving Universal Credit say they are owed rent, up by over 10 percentage
points since last year. According to a recent RLA survey of almost 3,000
landlords, of those with Universal Credit claimants as tenants, 38 per cent
reported experiencing tenants going into rent arrears. In February 2016 that
figure was 27 per cent. The RLA’s research has found that the average amount
owed in rent arrears by Universal Credit tenants to private sector landlords is
now £1,150. Read more on the RLA website.
