David Salusbury, Chairman, National Landlords Association, commented on the housing benefit statistics released by the Department for Work and Pensions:
“Today's statistics show that the economic environment is still having a significant impact on the private rented sector within the UK, with the number of people needing support with their living costs still increasing.
“Although these latest statistics do not tell us anything about whether the Government's reform package for housing benefits is a success, they do show the significant danger of getting housing benefit reform wrong.
“With over 1.24 million people now receiving Local Housing Allowance it is crucial that the Government supports landlords providing accommodation for this vulnerable group of people. The focus must be on encouraging the supply of rental accommodation, as well as reducing benefit expenditure.”
